But on what grounds exactly? For their content? or will we get to use their service in a higher more standardized speed?Not exactly.
What it means is this.
Say you have a favorite show on Netflix, but then another service, say Hulu plus, has a show that competes with it, same genre type thing. It might decide to pay your internet provider money in oder to make sure Hulu streams quickly, while Netflix becomes slow.
Worse, some providers now also own content and web sites, so they would have built in incentives to feed you their stuff at top speed, while throttling competitive website speeds down so they are basically unusable.
There is also some concern that there is even less protection for information gathering from consumers, so your provider can technically record your porn watching habits, then sell that info.
