You have to stop looking at Internet access like electricity. There's no 'alternative'source for most people. Like water.
Imagine if your water utility stopped charging you for how much water you used and just billed you a flat fee for 10k gallons for a month. Not only that, they were able to affect your taps to throttle your usage.
Now, since the water company knows that they can make more I profits if they can figure out a way to get their customers to use less water. So what would you do to do that? Well, the easiest thing would be to throttle all the showers during the peak times. So, yeah, you can shower during the morning and evening on weekdays, but you'll have a lot less pressure than you would during the day when there's less demand.

Oh, good. So what "blessing" will an ISP need if the mandate is to treat all websites the same?
And what hypothetical service models would be impacted by that mandate? Are you envisioning a future service model where an ISP offers a reduced rate for only half of the internet?

Lol, I guess you've never lived out west where they've been doing stuff like this for years. They've had crazy things like lawn watering days only on Tuesday's and Thursday's for 30 years.
Furthermore, do you not forget that phone service used to be free on nights and weekends but cost during the day! That was absurd! Communism i say! An atrocity! Genocide!
