    Again, its not like companies don't pay for the bandwidth they use. Netflix gets more customers, sure they pay more. Google pays a small fortune everyday and has something like 100 data centers around the world to serve their website.

    The net neutrality principle is that there are different tiers of service, but within those tiers all data is treated equally. It's like you are buying a plane or bus ticket, maybe you paid for a first class ticket or a coach ticket. But they shouldn't be able to give you shittier service just because you are black or a woman or work for the rival airline.
