What's your point? In one post you're saying ISPs should have the right to charge for their bandwidth and you're also acknowledging they already do. So what are you arguing for or against?
Sorry if my posts were confusing. I believe ISP's should be able to charge for bandwidth in a tiered system. Bandwidth is a commodity today. I also believe the market will handily take care of any issues that may arise.
I'm willing to pay extra for high-speed access to the whole of the internet. I'm also able to pay for that access. I don't think telecoms should provide this for free to the masses.
I hope this clears up any ambiguity I might have projected in my previous posts.

My ISP does charge for bandwidth. They charge for every 100gigs or so I use. Why should they also be allowed to charge me for allowing me to use that bandwidth on certain sites?

No one is saying anything should be free.

But they're already charging for speed in a tiered system. Considering your speed has a huge impact on how much bandwidth you could feasibly utilize, the system already works. The ISP's are now trying to triple dip by charging not just the customers based on speed, but then charging them extra for bandwidth (which they already had), and then extorting content providers on the back side.
Ending Net Neutrality is like appointing foxes guardians of all hen-houses, and wolves the caretakers of sheep.
