While I'm not quite sure if allowing big companies a "fast lane" on the Internet is a bad thing, the issue that bothers me is that my Internet provider seems to limit my access, either through slow connections or by limiting the number of download streams I can have open.
In the article it mentions, "the speed promised by your provider’s plan". Unless I missed something in my agreement with my provider there is no guarantee that you will get the advertised speed referenced in your plan, and what I know about Internet traffic (admittedly networking is not my strong suit) is that you probably never get that stated speed anyway. Worst of all, there is no minimal SLA specified at all. Like I said, unless I missed something, you could get Internet speeds equivalent to analog modem speeds and your provider would still be within the terms or the plan, no matter what level of plan you might have. If anyone knows of a provider that states a minimum rate on their agreements please let me know who those providers are.
