Ah "network neutrality", how you won initially yet lost over time...

I don't think there are any net neutrality laws that don't exempt things like in-flight Wi-Fi, where the upstream is so heavily restricted that providing balanced services to everyone is basically impossible or leaves the entire connection useless.

With Starlink things may be looking a bit better, but I think demanding net neutrality on in-flight satellite internet and plane-to-cell-tower internet is excessive.

You can still have a very slow free tier, a normal tier, and a quality video tier. Limited bandwidth is not a good reason to abandon net neutrality.
Now imagine the same restrictions on your home Internet
I mean, if everyone was watching 4k YouTube videos they probably couldn’t support it, right?
