This definition of net neutrality seems to rule out even offering connections with different speeds. If I'm paying for the 100Mb plan and someone else is on the 1Gb one, my downloads will be slower than theirs. And Netflix here would be making a deal for a really big pipe (oversimplification, obviously).
I don't see a need for net neutrality to say you can't pay for more if you need more. I think "we're gonna charge you extra because of the TYPE of data you are" or "we're gonna charge you extra because we have our own competing service" or "we're gonna throttle you [for those same reasons]" are much bigger concerns.
What's the big concern with Netflix operating as their own CDN vs paying a third party one?
