oh indeed, many of the terrible things they due are outright legal and not even borderline , getting back to why I want them regulated like a utility lol, or in cases of the cable side, the FCC to do a better job defending consumers.

I'm wary of classifying things as a utility, because like television broadcasting that lends itself to government censorship. I would rather have what we have now than a presumably fairer more equitable internet that is subject to state censorship. 

There is already state censorship, but without the benefits of consumer protections. Right now with the various local monopolies, we get corporate censorship, extortion and often terrible service. Regulationg over what the companies that deliver the internet can do isn't the same as regulating the content on it.
