Actually this bill has already passed the House and Sen. Ted Stevens from AK is making it a priority for the lame duck session.

So are you saying that companies that have the "higher tier" access will have bigger internet tubes?

Yes, but my understanding is it isn't "ISPs" that are behind this. It's the companies that actually own the phone and cable lines. Granted, some of them are ISP's, but the ISP's that lease or rent line access would be just as screwed as the rest of us.

Do an google on "Net Neutrality" and you will find all the information you want.
