Wikipedia: "
Network neutrality, or simply net neutrality, is the principle that Internet service providers (ISPs) must treat all Internet communications equally, and not discriminate or charge differently based on user, content, website, platform, application, type of equipment, source address, destination address, or method of communication.[4]
With net neutrality, ISPs may not intentionally block, slow down, or charge money for specific online content. Without net neutrality, ISPs may prioritize certain types of traffic, meter others, or potentially block traffic from specific services, while charging consumers for various tiers of service."

Everytime I call mine, internode, I say, " nothing personal, you are in support, but your company charges me too much for too slow a speed and I know it and resent it, and it's only because in Australia we get ripped off for everything including this. Now having said that, here is why I'm calling..."
At least I get the satisfaction of letting them know we are not all stupid in Australia, just powerless.
That's why we need good government regulation and oversight of all essential services and protection of consumers against bastard companies, which is only all of them.
