Yes, if the prices for consumers go down and they can only speed websites up and are not allowed to slow down websites
@9VT96JX1mo1MO
If the internet is slow then since what is most popular is what most people are trying to get to, then I think it’s fair to speed up a more used website at the expense of another
@9TNKQWJ2mos2MO
It would be good if the internet was faster for providers who pay more money, but not to slow down the internet for those who don't pay.
@9F5KMPV1yr1Y
It's really unfair if the bigger sites have a faster connection. There's too many monopolies online. The little guy shouldn't be at the disadvantage. A website should not be allowed to pay for optimal speed. Every site should have equal speed.

Private companies are free to do as they please
@93B6FPP2yrs2Y
Internet should be open and not controlled by only two overseers (bell and rogers)

Regardless, not a governmental concern.
