Error… Cat invasion!
:badass:
- Slow down internet speeds on purpose!
- Contact the F.B.I if problems still occur more than 2 times after this email is sent!
This is just insane, the only real reason in my mind is that Verizon just does not like us getting free movie releases, they would rather us spend $5-10 on a 48 hr rental in their VOD section.
So do all ISP's do this now, I ask because I used to have Comcast/Xfinity and they did not give a shit, anyone else come across this dilemma?

True that they expect me to pay $100 for the internet a month then extra on all these new movies and ect... coming out? LOL

My ISP has sent me emails before. Before I got a VPN I used a free program called Peerblock and it seemed to help (Don't know if it will be beneficial to you) Here is the link:

also there are plenty of cheap unlogged VPNs out there. I pay 2$ a month for mine.

US ISPs are the worse just happy UK ones offer a better deal.
I do have a movie deal with my own ISP thinking of getting rid and moving to netflix or another service.
