Two-thirds of Internet users worry that Internet providers may block their access to information and services, and a majority support congressional action to prevent the practice, says a new survey released this week by the Consumer Federation of America (CFA).

More than 75% of consumers surveyed expressed serious concern about restricted service choices and double-billing, while 70% complained that their providers blocked access to certain Web sites.
