This is exactly what I've been fearing for a while. As soon as we go soft on the net neutrality issue, ISPs are going to take advantage. Favoring some traffic over others because they are part of an ISPs product line is ridiculous and anti-competitive.
With practices like these it will become increasingly rare for startups to be able to compete with large companies because customers won't want to spend extra money to use a startup's service.
There is a distinct difference between capping a customer's traffic after a certain point (which I don't agree with either) and favoring some traffic over another.

This is bad for everyone.
