Non-neutral internet bandwidth packages will only be offered if there is profit to be made. Cell phone companies didn't give us free long distance out of the kindness of their heart - it was simply too expensive to administer the billing. So, the trick is to make non-neutral packages very expensive to maintain or support for the ISP's. How? By making it too hard for them to implement in a way that isn't easily subverted or disrupted. (And by simply not buying the premium packages in the first place.) Too few customers with too much maintenance and software and administrative overhead, and the companies will flee from this idea except in the cases where they are intentionally engaged in censorship of some sort.
