I see a bunch of network neutrality confusion here.

This is not anti-net neutrality, nor is it pro-net neutrality.

It's saying: Rather than accept the unknown path between your customers and you, pay for this service and you can use our optimized backbone reducing the amount of time your traffic is on random networks that aren't optimized for the exact network tuning you need/want.

Network neutrality has to do with public transit networks not favoring certain traffic, generally identified by having _paid_ for preferential treatment.

These folks are _not_ running a public transit network, they're running a _private transit network_ with peering points back to the public internet for access by consumers and producers.
