As a customer you're already paying the ISP to access the Internet. The websites you're paying your ISP to access already pay for bandwidth and whatnot from their providers. But now they need to also pay your ISP to ensure you get optimal performance.
So you've got 30mbps internet? Sorry, Netflix is in the 256k lane so your speed doesn't matter. And this is Netflix's fault because they haven't paid us. Also Netflix costs $19.99 a month to cover the costs of paying your ISP. And now maybe your ISP wants to also charge you a premium on to of your normal bill to view Netflix.
It won't be a bigger pipe, this won't create a fast lane. It's just going to create a slow lane.
