The point is that if the provider is deciding based on some third party
paying them and thus my neighbors are getting more bandwidth
than I am, not because they're paying more, but, because they're
choosing to use the services that bribed my provider, then that's
not a good thing.

This actually is a case for net neutrality. I worry about things like
ACLS to prevent SPAM or abuse/security will get tarred with the same
feathers.
