This is why net neutrality is important. To prevent bullshit like this from happening.

This is literally why net neutrality needs to be regulated. Corporations will artificially make problems to induce additional earnings.

Super scummy, anti-customer behavior.

That's not what net neutrality is about. NN is about carriers and ISPs treating all services and websites equally. Don't feature creep NN. It weakens the arguments for why why we need NN.

Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act might stop any attempt to undermine browser performance.
