How do we, IT savvy people capable of monitoring, testing and verifying this stuff, use our collective skills to monitor each ISP and communicate who is doing the best/worst job?

As long as there is at least one ISP provider who is not throttling traffic, we should reward that ISP that does not discriminate on web traffic, and punish the ones that do. You might have to show some differences across different regions and cities, but this is critical. I don't know enough about monitoring web traffic to figure this out but it sounds like an awesome project to spearhead. How do we get started?

It's just that I'm just a little sick of the finger pointing, and would prefer to do whatever I could to fix the problem or use the markets to promote the good companies and punish the bad ones. If there is a market where all the ISP providers are throttling then you have a better case for government regulation. Who's with me?
