So I'm certainly no expert on this topic, but shouldn't paying for "fast lanes" pretty explicitly fall under the "paid prioritization" part of these rules? But no, I wouldn't pay extra for "fast gaming" or whatever since I don't play enough competitive games for it to be worth it. ... Copied to Clipboard!

This seems to be a mostly 5G concern from that excerpt. Can't say I really care since I don't game on 5G, but yeah this seems to be a shitty rule that isn't really net neutrality.

It's not paying for EXTRA service it's selling everyone 50%, charging extra to use 70% and they reserve the rest of the capacity to slowly "upgrade services" over time without actually putting money into the infrastructure
