As I pointed out earlier, if the objective is for all data packets to carry the exact same priority, then there is little need for extensive oversight.
...which is why they're opposing, tooth and nail, any attempt to ensure that they have all data packets carry the same priority? The same reason they have puff pieces out on how giving certain content providers priority is a great idea?
In my small metropolitan area there are two cable ISPs, two DSL ISPs, satellite ISPs, a whole host of cellular ISPs and a surprising number of RF ISPs.
As I've repeatedly pointed out, identical priorities is in the best interests of very few.
Do you not want to pay for the bandwidth you use?

Do you also demand that all airline fares be the same price regardless of distance traveled or fuel consumed?
If you're paying for broadband on Verizon you deserve what you get.
Noting that the unique arrangement of the major airlines and government regulation has resulted in every single one of them going bankrupt, sometimes multiple times.The airlines already charge me much less to travel a longer distance, and more for shorter, so I'm completely baffled by their unique methods of price discrimination
Most of the major players have the same position on this--they are against net neutrality. The big broadband providers in my area are on this list in red. Maybe the satellite providers don't care, since they don't build the same kind of infrastructure.
In contrast, Southwest and a couple of other point-to-point carriers, which price airfares based on their actual costs, have consistently been profitable year after year ... even though the labor costs at Southwest Airlines are now the highest of any airline flying.
)I have a hard time believing that. I daresay you have at least multiple DLS services available to you as well as RF and satellite providers. It's hard to imagine any of them being more expensive than Verizon.
Southwest = goodSouthwest will still feed you, give you a drink, and let you check a bag with your ticket price. When you factor that in and shop smart, Southwest often has a better price; heaven knows they offer a better *experience*. (We often fly on a major Southwest route, and they've become the family airline. My kids even flew on them unaccompanied with no extra cost because according to Southwest, a 12-year-old who insists I make his sandwich every day constitutes a "responsible adult" who can look out for a younger sibling
Satellite is, actually, more expensive, too. Looked into it.Yes, but here DSL goes straight to fiber. Some places even have direct fiber. It's not your grandfather's DSL.DSL...NHE, that is so 1999.
Fiber I can see being the fastest. Depends on how close it gets to your house though.
