Is anyone having trouble using there tablets or smart phones. Would net neutrality being struck down

About month ago we added my mother in law to our cell phone plan. To kind of help her out anyways before we added her my wife and I had unlimited talk, text and data for one price. AFTER adding my Mother in law we notice we still have unlimited Text and talk but we can't get on the net. at first my wife and I thought they messed up our plan and we just need to talk to someone BUT we are also noticing that my wife's tablet (an anniversary gift I got for her and yes I got it on sale it is a older model as well) isn't working right for the past week and a half. She can no longer connect to Amazon and the games she bought from amazon are giving her trouble or she can't access them at all. She keeps getting messages that internet connection not working YET she had just played a game she got 2 days ago from an app on the tablet she never used before until she started having issues with connecting to amazon. She wanted to use the rest of a gift card to buy a game. cannot connect.

Anyways is anyone else having this issue. My wife mentioned to me that a court struck down net neutrality but would that have anything to do with our phones and tablet?

If both your phones and your wife's tablet can't connect to the net, then you should contact your service provider. The net neutrality situation is about providers slowing down connections and/or charging customers more to access certain sites and apps.
