Question

Should a private (for profit) organization (e.g., Comcast, AT&T, etc.) that provides multiple services such as internet access, internet infrastructure, and its own "content" (i.e., web pages, online entertainment, etc.), be able to slow down the speed of competitors or prevent its subscribers from using competing services/apps? I.e., If I want to look at the news from BBC online, should my ISP be able to slow it down so that their site appears to run faster?

In contrast, if I'm a private (for profit) organization (e.g., Comcast, AT&T, etc.), should my subscribers be able to stream endless Netflix movies through my pipes, which slows down service for my other subscribers and ultimately costs me money

Explanation / Answer

NO they should not slow down. It violates the right of cosumers ISPS impose data limit not because it costs them so much money . Actually less than 5% of the users surpass the month limit. but the ISPS do this so that they can charge double for the size you use above the limit.
