I'm probably in the minority, but I'd take issue with the government regulating how much an ISP needs to offer on ports packets and protocols. I know that I get as furious as the next guy who wants to use bittorrent and it's selectively throttled, but it's not the government's place to regulate which products the grocery store stocks on it's shelves, nor should it be the government's place to tell ISPs which protocols they need to give priority to. If most of their customers want high speed youtube, and the ISP chooses to block everything but high speed youtube so the customers can have high speed youtube without distractions, it's their business model. As long as it sells subscriptions, it will keep them in business. My only consolation, ditch the ISP if you don't like the speeds for the amount of money your paying per month.
