It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

Internet shutoffs should require a court order. Not some emails that are "this person did a bad 🥺🥺🥺 no proof but can you please take our word for it 🥺🥺🥺🥺"

Internet shutoffs shouldn't be a thing, outside of non-payment or legitimate abuse. If I do something illegal, they should have to sue me, not shut off my internet.

Maybe not a court order. But I could get behind a process similar to other utilities where you have months or warning and paperwork.
