Not having read any of the articles and not having researched the matter 
of network neutrality much at all. But wouldn't using either a VPN 
service or setting up VPN on one or more virtual servers at strategic 
locations of your choice avoid this? Unless "they" try to bandwidth 
limit your VPN tunnel(s) indiscriminately. Or did I miss something 
blatantly obvious?

At least VPN does a great job of "routing around" GeoIP blocking...

Greetings,
