Without net neutrality, and I might as well use your brown townogy: Websites that pay get bread, same as normal. Websites that aren't are given the crumbs from the floor.It doesn't matter who the company is run by. Purchases are independent of each other.
In other words, when they talk about paying for 'faster speed', they actually mean 'pay or we'll make your website's speeds act like it's the 90's'. It's the opposite.
You pay $x for crappy internet and $y for internet that isn't total garbage. Just because I have the money to buy Internet Y doesn't mean you have a right to the same thing.
I bet you believe Ted Cruz's "net neutrality is obamacare for the internet!!!1" crapWho? I don't care about the stupid politics behind this, I care that every time the government makes a well-meaning mandate like this the economy is slightly less free.
