No but now as the actual comment. I can now see your point why different kinds of data could be needed to be treated unequally. I had forgotten the times when the Internet could get clogged when multiple people were using it, as I'm too used to fast and reliable connections where it doesn't matter if people are watching videos, gaming and having video calls.
However, on the other hand I do understand why ISPs would have the freedom to prioritize the data, I would want to choose the equal treatment for all data.
I do not want my porn experience to be laggy just because my neighbor would be calling a HD video call to her boyfriend. I'm a paying customer equally to her and whatever I'm doing with my connection deserves equal treatment.
If my ISP decides my games, porn and chatting is less important than VoIP and video calls, I would change my ISP really fast.
Which is exactly how it should work! This would create competition for the ISPs as there would likely be some who still offer "equal" plans, and they could very quickly spread into an area where the current ISP doesn't offer that plan.
There is also the possibility they could offer special plans such as porn priority for your viewing pleasure, it may just cost more than a normal plan.
The most important factor however is that the government doesn't authorize larger ISPs from having a monopoly in a certain area by preventing competition.
As we otherwise discussed, the culture of suing everyone and everything is a major issue in US business. The situation where a ISP could have an unbreakable monopoly on area and provide only certain kind of services would be really bad.
Thanks! I think? XD

Defenitly agree wholeheartedly with you on that one. I think thats the root issue with many things right now!
