Net neutrality sucks for one reason - it makes paid fast lanes illegal.
Hear me out . . .
A connection to the internet should be basically a dumb pipe, not filtering, accelerating, or slowing down anything.
However . . .
An ISP should be able to have a side-pipe to a specific service that provides for unregulated access to something thru that pipe.
For instance you might watch Netflix all the time and want to pay a couple bucks for a side-pipe access to Netflix at a consistent throughput. Or maybe you work in finance and want access to Bloomberg, or Fidelity.
Or maybe you work remotely and would love to access your Microsoft email and SharePoint with higher upstream throughput.
Or maybe you’re a gamer and want a lower latency link to your game.
Why can’t you have that?
It is things like that which drive me crazy. The intent of the law is great but the implementation is lacking.
