>We are really only paying for bandwidth to/from our providers. Everything in-between is best effort, nebulous peering arrangements, etc.
I don't know about you, but I'm certainly not. I fully intend to be provided connectivity to the wider Internet at the speed advertised. The money I'm giving to them pays for the peering arrangements that let that happen. Let me put it another way, I wouldn't pay anything for a connection that's just to/from Comcast with no wider connectivity.
>Way more likely ISPs will do a little deep packet inspection and re-write the page to have a message along the lines of "Netflix & Google are the reason your rates keep going up.
Netflix and Google can just use HTTPS if that happens. I believe Google already does.
