Comment shaping should account for subscriber plans (Score 1) 337
The ISPs should be legally limited to two types of traffic shaping:
1) Based purely on subscriber plan, without looking at traffic type. If you've paid for a better plan then me, your traffic gets weighted more heavily.
2) Optionally (if the subscriber requests it) they could shape based on traffic type, but only within the packets belonging to a specific subscriber.
That way, your web pages would get exactly the same priority as their video stream.
