You wanting a fast lane isn't going to change any of that.

If my ISP would be allowed to offer it, then it would change that. Wouldn't it?

No you clearly don't understand how infrastructure works. Your node is overloaded with traffic. It doesn't matter what type of traffic it is, traffic is traffic. Your special YouTube or Netflix lane isn't going to work any better when 100s of home are running traffic through the same node.

The fast lane concept is about them throttling services to those sites to make them even slower unless you pay for it. Things like data caps have nothing to do with management of the network, congestion or one person using more data making someone else's internet worse.

Once again they need to upgrade the infrastructure to redirect traffic to increase service.

Your ISP is allowed to offer faster speeds now, nothing is stopping them. That isn't what net neutrality is about. What they aren't allowed to do is provide one speed for certain data but not others. Nothing stops them currently from offering a "fast lane" i.e. a faster connection, they all do this. Net neutrality prevents them from making their own content faster than their competitors, nickle and diming you over website access, or making it so sites have to pay them a kickback to have reasonable speeds delivered to you.

You don't understand the implications, it's not getting you faster internet. So stop arguing for it!
