Subject: NJ's latest law trying to combat telemarke-sleaxe
[NJ Governor Press Release]
Governor Murphy Signs "Seinfeld Bill" Increasing Telemarketing
Transparency
Trenton - Governor Phil Murphy today signed S921/A1545, also known as
the "Seinfeld Bill," which requires telemarketers to provide the name,
mailing address, and telephone number of the person on whose behalf
the call is made within 30 seconds of a call. In an effort to crack
down on telemarketers, the bill takes inspiration from a scene in the
hit NBC TV sitcom, Seinfeld.
The legislation states that a telemarketer making a telemarketing
sales call must, within the first 30 seconds of the call, accurately
identify the telemarketer's name, the name and telephone number of the
person on whose behalf the call is being made, and the purpose of the
call. A violation of the bill's provisions is to constitute a
disorderly persons offense, in addition to other penalties as already
prescribed by current law. A telemarketer will also be required to
disclose the mailing address of the telemarketer, and any company on
whose behalf the company is telemarketing, on any website owned or
operated by the telemarketer, and on any subsequent written
communication to a customer.

Subject: How to bypass T-Mobile throttling with a VPN
By James Milin-Ashmore
T-Mobile throttling is frustrating, but it can be easily resolved by
using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Here’s everything you need to
know to get started.
Throttling is a term used to describe when your Internet Service
Provider (ISP) slows your connection on purpose. T-Mobile is one of
many ISPs known to throttle bandwidth, and there are a variety of
reasons why it may decide to slow down a user’s connection speeds. An
ISP may throttle bandwidth for numerous reasons:- The network may be congested, with too many users and not enough bandwidth to meet increased demand. As such, individual users may see their speeds throttled.
- Your ISP may prioritize some sites and services over others. Companies have been known to pay for ISP prioritization, ensuring faster speeds for their services. This can conversely lead to a slowdown for any services that aren’t paying extra.
- In an effort to discourage the use of torrents or illegal streaming,an ISP might throttle bandwidth for these activities.
- Even with an ‘unlimited’ plan, T-Mobile will slow speeds if you’re using large amounts of bandwidth per month. T-Mobile says mobile customers that have used more than 50GB of data in a single billing period are “heavy data users,” and are a lower priority compared to everyone else.
- If you’re using a tethered connection, T-Mobile prioritizes on-device traffic.
