In a letter addressed to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai on Monday, the companies asked the agency to reverse course and scrap plans to roll back most of the Obama-era regulations that prevent broadband providers from messing with your internet access. The letter, released to coincide with Cyber Monday, the biggest online shopping day in the US, argues that blocking or slowing online content would hurt the US economy.

"The internet is increasingly where commerce happens," the companies said in the letter. "This would put small and medium-sized businesses at a disadvantage and prevent innovative new ones from even getting off the ground."
