  That's why this is a kind of difficult issue to understand. No one is proposing doing away with different tiers of service. You will still have your dial up, broadband, premium broadband etc.

  The only thing they are saying is that ISPs should not be able to do the second part, slowing down or speeding up services at will, within the same tier of service.

  Which is basically how the internet has always worked, it was actually a 2006 action by the Bush FCC that laid the ground for throttling type behavior by changing the definition of an ISP.
