The governors of several states have made rules to ensure their local Internet Service Providers follow net neutrality rules. The Governors of Montana and New York have issued executive orders to say that in order to be eligible to do business with the state they have to abide by net neutrality rules.
That means the local DSL Internet Service providers in the state will not do things like throttle or create fast lanes and charge more for them. The idea is to bypass the FCC that has repealed the net neutrality rules passed in 2016 by the FCC when it had different members.
A lot of people see the repeal by Ajit Pai's FCC as Pai doing the work of his previous employer, Verizon. ALthough there my be only one choice for DSL Internet Service in an area, the governor's orders may help to ensure the customers get better service.
DSL Internet providers like AT&T have promised to follow the guidelines the orders might help to keep them on the up and up.

Well it's about time. They should! This is a betrayal of trust, in my opinion.
