Water and Electric are essential daily needs.
Internet, not so much.

Really? Try and post here without the internet. Try to do your job without the internet. Try to get a job without the internet. Try getting a credit card without the internet, finding a house or apartment, buying a car, paying your bills, managing your bank account, getting a bank account, the list goes on.

Possible? Sure, mostly. Getting a job without access to the internet is all but impossible, and the overwhelming majority of jobs, require internet access. But having access to the internet limited or restricted puts you at an unfair disadvantage, and in many ways will make modern life just this side of impossible. The internet is a necessity and a public utility in 2017, and it shouldn't be throttled or restricted any more than the water company should tell you that [BLEEP] in your guest bathroom toilet will cost an additional $9.99 per month.
