TL;DR Summary

The FCC's "nutrition labels" for internet service providers are now enforced, requiring ISPs to document everything in users' monthly bills, making it easier for consumers to understand what they're paying for. The labels include information on plan names, prices, speeds, early termination fees, data usage, privacy policies, and discounts. Consumers can use these labels to compare services and make informed decisions. The FCC has also raised the broadband standard to 100 Mbps download speed and 20 Mbps upload speed, but many people still lack access to fast broadband.
