WASHINGTON, April 25, 2024 – The Federal Communications Commission voted 3-2 on Thursday to reinstate Obama-era net neutrality rules. In a win for consumer advocates, officials said the draft order’s no-throttling language was updated to clarify that speeding up traffic also violates the rule.

Officials said there were no major changes from the draft order with respect to 5G network slicing or Universal Service Fund contributions, two contested issues before the agency.
