The argument that Netflix non-subscribers would have to pay for the bandwidth of subscribers doesn't make sense: Most ISPs already charge differently for Mbps

The argument that Netflix non-subscribers would have to pay for the bandwidth of subscribers doesn't make sense:
Most ISPs already charge differently for Mbps (speed), GB/mo (quantity), or both. So therefore the cost of the bandwidth is already being applied somewhat fairly amongst different ISP users.
If the ISP wants to be more fair, create new tiers of Mbps or GB/mo.
Netflix users who like HD could chose a higher Mbps connection, and Netflix users who like to watch more could choose more GB/mo.
Because the whole point about Net Neutrality is, once I get an ISP with a certain speed and cap, I expect all internet services to behave similarly within that speed and cap.
