Do you have an entitlement to the old cream?

probably not, actually I'm not even sure, just pointing out the sleeze, trying to make your analogy a bit more realistic.

They're working together to eliminate their customers??? Who will they sell stuff to? Sounds like this problem will take care of itself.

Bleh, you know what I meant for purpose of the analogy was the cream companies own the big ice cream companies or otherwise want them to be their only premium customers. The analogy is too flawed to be of much use anyway, so I'll drop it.

We are talking about data transfer communications which is a fundamentally different type of thing.

How so?

One is cream and the other is a means of communcation, free speech, and fair competiton. Telcos have no right to selectively throttle bandwidth based on what data the packets contain. What's next, telling me I have to pay $15/month extra if I want to download porn?

Again, I'm not saying sites that use more bandwidth should not pay more. They do now, and always have.
