Yet another reason why vertical integration is a bad thing, and content creators should not be content distributors.

Your ISP should not have any stake in the content you access online, and certainly should not be lobbying against the interests of the customers of its ISP division in favour of the interests of the content division.

Money-grubbing monopolists, the lot of 'em. We ought to nationalize them all. After all, it was public money that built their network. It’s the public they’ve been bullying.
