Default Government might be able to throttle connections

For most of you in the loop i'm sure that you've heard this; however, for the rest of us I thought it might be interesting.

U.S. pandemic options include crippling home modems - Computerworld Blogs

Just wondering, for edification purposes, if there was any way to block them from doing this. I mean you are pretty much restricted to using the cable/fibre companies modem even thought you can have your own router, right?

Edit: After some quick googling it seems that you are free to use different modems...at least with some services.
