If you have a couple of minutes, you really need to listen to this audio recording of testimony given at the "Network Neutrality" hearing at Stanford.

Obviously I'd prefer a world of flat rate, fast service. And if we actually had any meaningful ISP competition, we might get to that. But the narrow question I've addressed here is whether it would violate neutrality principles for ISPs to offer different bandwidth commitments for different prices. I don't believe it does.

Haven't listened to the entire audio, but from what I read, I agree completely. Different prices for different levels of service (i.e. bandwidth) still treats all packets in the network the same. If Suddenlink were to interfere with (filter) the packets that I receive from Vonage because I do not use the phone service that they (Suddenlink) sell, then that is clearly not net neutrality (and I would be one irate customer).
 
I have COX as well. I don't really care how they tier the bandwidth. I don't DL anything. I wish I could get a guaranteed ping package. Two years ago I had average pings of 14. Now, 40....
