Reminder: Americans lose access to a free and open internet next month. Do not be surprised if some voices on here disappear.  Do not be surprised if other countries begin to follow suit. 

Or you could try to do something about it, like calling your representatives or taking to the streets if all else fails.  

Would VPNs work? Afaik there isn’t a government or telco in the world that can successfully block those things (case in point: you can totally access banned sites like Facebook in China using VPN), so the logic follows that they shouldn’t be able to slow down internet using those either.
