Don't confuse net neutrality with quality of service.  For example  an
ISP might charge more for better voice over IP performance.  Provided
that charge applied equally to all VoIP suppliers, that might be
acceptable.  However, if an ISP favours their VoIP over a competitor's
then there's a problem.
