"doing throttling" is not the problem. If I'm using a lot of bandwidth and I get slowed down in fairness to other users or for network stability, I can accept that.
Throttling based on my remote network peer rather than on how much data I'm moving is anticompetitive towards that party and unfair to me as a paying customer. That's the issue. If I'm downloading Linux ISOs, streaming Netflix, grabbing all the latest podcast episodes, archiving my Google Drive locally, or grabbing the whole Simtel DOS archive for my DOSBox installation, my ISP should treat my traffic the same.
