I completely agree and that's totally fair. What isn't far though is charging more for (or slowing) traffic that could be 20 hops away (and thus not directly connected to your network) just because the packets happen to be labeled "Netflix". As it is everyone pays for their own connectivity. Netflix pays to connect to their ISP. You pay to connect to your ISP. The ISPs pay to connect to each other. They have agreements on traffic levels and bandwidth. But an ISP shouldn't be able to double-dip and "tax" certain services for which they have no direct connection with. It effectively amounts to extortion.
