   @garrett Register an AS and get an IP allocation. Then you find a Tier 1 or Tier 2 transit provider that isn't one of these consumer ISPs to pull fiber to you, and you advertise your address space via BGP to them and you'll get internet access bypassing these badly behaving ISPs

     I'm not saying I don't ever want to touch computers again. I'm saying I want to be out of the tech world. I want to just be a regular computer user who doesn't have to deal with this stuff. Though a lack of Net Neutrality and planned obsolescence will always affect me anyway I guess.

     So like, maybe dumb question but...how do we start our own internet that is outside of the control of governments or corporations? Can I hook up to the internet without going through Verizon or Comcast or AT&T?

     I just saw that Net Neutrality was struck down again so...yeah I'm just tired of the tech world. I'm tired of the hypocrisy of anti-Net Neutrality people. I'm tired of planned obsolescence causing me to spend more money on new things while otherwise perfectly functional hardware would still work fine. I'm tired of JavaScript frameworks making things more complicated than they need to be. I'm tired of seeing job listings that want 5 years of experience with a technology that's only 3 years old.
