News Flash: ISP's want more money for nothing.

This is a classic case of someone wanting something for nothing. Just because a online company does well doesn't mean you should be able extort money from them through a slower connection to their customers. Eventually removing Net Neutrality will cause a monopoly on the internet where the large companies who already had the upper hand on sales will only continue because they can afford the "fast lane" internet service providers want to provide to them.

I pay for a cable internet connection. It is the most speed I can get for the price. If Comcast even attempted to slow my connection down I would drop them in a heartbeat. I would never pay for a connection that can't be used to its full potential.

I understand that these companies want to make more money, a great way to do that would be to provide an even faster service and earn the extra money rather than extort it from small online businesses and others.
