Part of my concern with broadband is that since cable operators are granted effective monopoly by municipal franchise, that they want to be able to have an add-on charge that we really won't have a choice accepting or not accepting. And Comcast allready charges for increased bandwidth to users through the Speedboost option. I'll have to look into this more, and as for now I am leaning towards net neutrality. I do appreciate Dave adding to the discussion, though. I have been a but confused by the issue, myself.

As far as the BitTorrent users eating up bandwidth for everyone else, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Everyone that has an account with an ISP has limits on their bandwidth anyway (like mine with Earthlink is 4MB downloads), and people should be able to use that bandwidth they are paying for. I don't really agree with BitTorrent sites, as they typically distribute content that isn't legal for sharing, like software, music, movies, and television programs. Oh, and using BitTorrent isn't the only way to watch missed episodes of your favorite tv shows. Lots of television sites allow you to watch episodes. I watch LOST, Heroes, and several others this way. I see your point that the advertisers may absorb the costs of higher bandwidth, but it still trickles down to someone else.
