Reply #6: I believe it applies to website owners [View All]

We already do NOT have equality among users... 'your' dialup connection is slow, while I pay more for DSL, and get bigger bandwidth. However, even with this system, all the websites I might visit would theoretically load up at the same speed. The "big" websites do not load up any faster than the small websites.

Without net neutralty, mega-huge websites like MSN or Google could pay extra to have their websites load super-fast, while the home-grown website you made to discuss Peak Oil (or whatever) loads at a snails pace, because you couldn't pay the big bucks. With net neutrality, no websites get special treatment as far as traffic (visitors) and loading speeds. Nobody pays extra, and nobody gets special 'through-put'.
