Fire dep't had to pay twice as much to lift throttling during wildfire response.

This is the kind of **** that will cause it to be a valid public policy. If you're on the right and you don't want net neutrality, then you should be for burning Verizon a new regulatory ***hole very loudly and very publicly right now.

Verizon should be skewered for this but I can also find fault with the fire department for purchasing a plan with a 25G limit before throttling for an essential service.
