Net neutrality is about getting exactly what you pay for. For example if you pay for 100MBps connection you should get 100Mbps regardless of any site you access. You don't want your ISP to decide that Netflix would stream on 20Mbps and Comcast would stream at 100Mbps. This gives us unfair advantages to certain sites which is beyond your control. Worse yet ISP can police which sites you can visit which not with absence of Net Neutrality. So this has nothing to do with communism or also not to be confused with the "right to free internet". Those are all independent topics. |

I'm sorry, but the Internets just don't work that way.
The only way to get guaranteed 100Mbps when crossing a few AS borders', is to have bandwidth SLAs all the way. Which is - as far as I understand it (could be mistaken) - about the opposite of what Net Neutrality proponents seem to stand for.
ISPs can guarantee (or, at least, try to provide) you a certain quality of service within their network, as they have full control over it. They can also try poke their direct peers (whom they have agreements with) to do something if the problem is at some neighboring AS. They can also try to politely ask other systems (hoping they would care to help). But that's about it.
