There's absolutely nothing wrong with vendors offering different QoS for different scenarios.

Why would no not what a specialized network option for 'super low latency' for things like games?

Or if you don't use any kind of streaming, then why not get cheaper rates for 'super high latency'?

This is good, it's their job.

Where it gets ugly is if they start discriminating between customers, i.e. Netflix has to pay $X while their parent companies other asset, HBO only has to pay $Y.

Or if you have a 'Facebook package' that optimizes for FB or something like that.

So QoS, yes, content discrimination, no.
