I don't buy the Devils advocate argument of what the ISPs will do in the future. And how does restricting fast lanes improve the shite speeds we have today? I just don't get the tiein that says "this is how we get super fast internet!"

They're already doing it. Comcast shook down NetFlix and as soon as NetFlix paid the others ISPs started lining up looking for their's. NetFlix fought back fortunately and started telling users that congestion on the ISP's network was responsible for the buffering.
I have no problem with tiered service, if more data consumption means more costs then consumers should pay that. The problem is the ISPs are trying to charge twice for data that's already been paid for, and they want to hide that 2nd charge from the consumer so they can get more money than the market would otherwise allow.
