Erm... Exempting a service's traffic from a restriction is the literal textbook definition of 'against net neutrality'
Weird misinformation here.
Just to clarify for the benefit of the audience:
Net Neutrality is when a carrier treats all data packets as equal, without regard to origin, destination, or provider.
I believe 'fair' QoS is exempted (you're allowed to prioritise low-latency traffic such as VOIP) but only if you throw all VOIP packets into the same 'high priority' queue regardless of software, provider, destination, etc.
If you charge on a per-byte basis but exempt some traffic from those charges, you're absolutely violating net neutrality.
If you have a data cap but exempt some traffic from that cap, you're absolutely violating net neutrality.
