I don't like PragerU, but really? My ISP has apparently IP-blocked their website.

    My internet connection cut for a few minutes right after posting this. It was probably just a coincidence, but don't be surprised if I suddenly disappear from the internet.

    Have you thought about a reputable VPN for getting around this shit without resorting to tor? My old ISP would throttle the shit out of the most random websites and even Proton's mediocre free tier cut Steam download times in half. Hopefully your ISP gets some competition in the near future.

    I actually have Proton's free VPN because I already had a ProtonMail account and that was the easiest one I could test with. All the blocked websites work over ProtonVPN, though there are two issues: 1. some websites don't function properly, and 2. I don't know how safe VPNs are for passwords, so I only use it for websites I don't need to login to (such as prageru.com).

    I find it unlikely there will ever be broadband competition, and satellite internet (which we do have here) is total shit, because you're paying double the price for half the speeds. Perhaps we may get a wireless ISP sometime eventually, but I don't know how effective it would be — and I live in a small town so we're often ignored.

    That's a damned shame. I get some competition in my small town because of some of the orgs here. Have you considered something like https://calyxinstitute.org/ ? I don't know how good it is but I've considered it as a backup, some dipshit is always digging up or knocking down lines.
