I think voice over Internet services require low latency in order to work properly, but your email can arrive a second late without any harm. If ISPs are not permitted to block out spam and viruses to the extent that they do today, how are consumers benefited by that? If ISPs cannot managed network congestion, how does that help anyone? I think your blanket statement is just an oversimplification. There is a lot of evidence on site that you can read and learn, and then comment back. Thanks.

No picking and choosing by the provider as to whose packets go first. They are paid by their users for access, not decision making. Regulation designed to keep markets fair seems like good regualtion to me. Net nuetrality provides equal access to all. No picking and choosing by the provider as to whose packets go first.
