What good is 6Mbit DSL from my ISP (say, SBC for example) if only a small portion of the net (sites that pay for non-degraded access) loads at a reasonable speed and everything else sucks?
There are two possible ways of having a tiered system - one is to degrade competitors/those who don't pay, and the other is to offer a premium service to those who do pay.
Would your perception of those two scenarios be identical?
Since the model is based around cash, there is no perception except you pay, you get priority. Someone has to pay for the Internet. The users aren't. -M<
