I agree and disagree. Yes ISPs throttle, but they can make agreements with companies like Netflix (which use AWS) and host content locally to reduce bandwidth when a new show or season is about to drop (fast lane). Netflix is one of AWS's largest customers, it's not really a redirect game for "fast lanes" but more of a caching game for serving the content faster in various localities.
Edit: I work under AWS not at all on this, but that's my understanding of it

For me, the fundamental problem with (spuriously named) notion of so-called 'fast lanes', (they will be less slowed, rather than hastened) is that of censorship.
I would not be surprised if the primary motivation behind so called 'fast lanes' (remember, it just means slowed less) is to introduce the means by which communications can be censored and throttled. Censored and throttled by cunts, of course.
Don't let it happen.
