but wouldn't you have to connect to an american VPN resulting in slow speeds?
I pay monthly for a proper VPN that I've tested for leakage and actually sometimes increases my speed by optimizing the connection and making all the packets leaving my computers look exactly the same through single packet encryption. The servers are paid for so they guarantee they don't sell data to the government or corporations. I never ping over 100, no matter what country I connect through. If I connect through the US servers I generally get 50ms or so.
Paying $6.95 a month for piece of mind is a fantastic bargain. My VPN even allows me to not get cut off from my new ISP. They have very strict rules about what you're allowed to do with your giant 50mb/10mb pipeline. As I said, every packet is encrypted before being sent to the ISP, doubly so because I have browser extensions, a custom designed PPTP connection through the OS, and a background program running virus/spyware interference and adding ANOTHER layer of protection.
I have a bunch of machines running at any given time, so my ISP sees 5-6 PC's sending out exactly the same data as every other machine on my network. I can file share, go to websites in other countries, and bypass a bunch of stupid pointless rules about what you're allowed to do with your own damn internet.
If I'm not running triple protection I don't even visit Sinisterly without having a massive amount of condoms on my interwebs.
Yeah I use vypr vpn (also paid) but when I connect to the US everything goes pretty slow which is a pain in the ass

I actually gained speed from my VPN because all my traffic is encrypted and all treated the same. Or something. I download faster the VPN on. I get good connections off every single one of PIA's server
I never ping above 110 on every single server available. I also have my VPN installed on my modem/router, protecting the whole network, but then I run the service on whatever computer I'm using as well.
Kill switch plus 3 layer deep protection of anonymity keeps me surfing fast and my ISP not knowing wtf I'm up to because all my traffic looks the same.

This Is paramount with VPNs that support It.
It only takes a split second to lose VPN connectivity.

I see it as bad news since the internet will become more and more regulated and the ISPs will now have much more power than before. Sure, they could never stop the internet as a whole, but they can definitely start trying to have control of as much as they can.
Like even if the normal internet would be pretty fucked, you could still access the Tor network which is not so affected by this.
I see what you mean. I don't want to be pessimistic, but this kind of things had to happen one day. On the optimistic side, we can already prepare ourselves and educate others.
