You can do same thing at different time. (Missed the chance)

I would wager that some tools are like gloves or shoes, very important to have a good individual fit, to get best of performance.

Can there be technical things why cerain services get lower level service?

I’ve read that ISP buys various links to to other networks at various prices.

So maybe something like: if facebookBar server is on pricier linkFoo and for that reason ISP buys cheaper version of linkFoo effectively downgrading facebookBar service (along with everything on linkFoo)?

If such scenario is realistic, maybe it could be due to valid financial stuff, not due to anticompetetive behaviour. (Just saying, some technically valid scenarios should be taken into account)

> I'd rather have choice and transparency

it is very hard to force trancparancy.

Transparancy (at least how I see it) is matter of culture.

For example, if you open up ISP accounting books to the public, creative people will find ways to hide things. Instead of line item “10M € kickback from facebook”, there will be “10M € sale to facebook”.

There is always possibiltiy to add little asterisk and disambugate with small text if you choose the second.

(Respecting one side and educating the other)

1800 is somewhat recent history (compared to year 1799 or -1).

It is interesting that stuff like this gets forgotten in such short time frame and requires investigation/ discovery.

It’s interesting to wonder, what common facts of today, will become mysteries for future historians.

Could history education usefully emphasize a theme of time-traveler surprise? - "You've traveled back in time, and find... wtf that's weird!"
