Clever ad spot, but I think this is confusing the debate more than clarifying:

1)

>Video portrays a world where patrons pay more for fast service

Paying more for faster service is orthogonal to Net Neutrality. Of course you can pay more for a fatter pipe. No one has a problem with this. The issue is preferentially charging for data based on who is dumping it to their side of that pipe.

2) In the food world, you can already, likewise, pay more for better quality food. No one has a problem with that.

3) You can also, more controversially, bribe or tip the staff to get preferential service. That's widely accepted. The food service world is already more like net non-neutrality.
