The fact is that there was already a case in 2007 that corresponded exactly to what the proponents of net neutrality had predicted. Comcast, the largest provider of cable television and Internet connections in the USA, had severely slowed down the data traffic of P2P networks (such as Bittorent) , with the justification that this was to ensure that no customers were slowed down.

Technically, this would not be a problem overseas chinese in canada data for them and could bring them new sources of income. For a long time, they have been looking at the massive profits that Google and Co. make from their infrastructure, which they then get nothing of. So why not ask the companies whose customers use a particularly large amount of bandwidth to pay? In keeping with the motto, "You have a nice website. It would be a shame if no one could access it anymore..."

In my opinion, ISPs should invest their energy and profits in expanding their networks to meet the ever-increasing demand for more bandwidth, rather than using such measures to increase their profits. However, it is not yet clear to what extent end customers will be affected by these developments. It could lead to better speeds, or higher costs if you want to surf the "entire" Internet. It remains exciting.
