Your view is exactly backwards. It is the Bittorrent users that are punishing you, not the broadband supplier. Users of P2P file sharing software consume huge quantities of network bandwidth, blocking your ability to retrieve email, watch youtube, and yes, surf Mercedesshop. If net neutrality becomes law, expect two things to happen: 1) The quality of service you receive on your broadband connection will go to hell. With net neutrality the service provider cannot throttle back your nethog neighbor, and you suffer as a result. 2) Expect your flat rate, unlimited monthly volume broadband connection to either become much more expensive (to pay for the network upgrades required by your neighbor) or to become ala carte, with limited usage before you incur overage charges (like cellphones).

Recent studies show that ~2% of Internet users generate >50% of Internet traffic, mostly via file sharing. If net neutrality passes, broadband service providers are prevented from controlling their usage so that you can have a decent $50/month internet connection.

My $.02. BTW, I design packet network equipment for a living, so I know a bit about the business, though I do not work directly within it.
