Should internet service providers be allowed to speed up access to popular websites (that pay higher rates) at the expense of slowing down access to less popular websites (that pay lower rates)?

Net neutrality is the principle that internet service providers should treat all data on the internet equally.

Yes, if the prices for consumers go down and they can only speed websites up and are not allowed to slow down websites

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

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.

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.

Regardless, not a governmental concern.
