Good grief. This is about stuff as simple as being able to deprioritize packets from rival businesses — want to make Vonage suck compared to your bundled phone

Good grief. This is about stuff as simple as being able to deprioritize packets from rival businesses — want to make Vonage suck compared to your bundled phone service or Amazon video suck compared to Netflix? Net Neutrality prevents this and the guys who are against it are The Usual Suspects.
There's nothing in Net Neutrality to stop vendors from capping bandwidth, only from cherry-picking packets.
In this specific case, virtually anything — including say the bittorrent client WoW uses to distribute patches or GoToMyPC — qualifies as a server.
