Will certain websites be unavailable to you because you've chosen the budget option for your internet connection?&nbsp; If you're not sure&nbsp;how it works&nbsp;or even have questions about what it is, then Lifehacker has a nice article explaining what net neutrality is about, what the new rule changes are and how they may affect you.&nbsp; It's one subject we should all be aware of because it will affect us all in some way in the future, most likely in our pockets.</p>
