Please you don't need to be a totalitarian to support cronyism, control and oppression. Soros, Gates and all other progressivists billionaries are all having billions of profit thanks to cronyism and big, protective states and they plan to keep it going for as long as they can.

Totalitarianism is the eventual endpoint of this, but who cares if it will take more time than he has of life. In the meanwhile the reap the benefits to be the friend of the king.

If you want to receive at half the speed the server is sending you the server will have to wait either way. The ISP is not magical, it will have to do exactly the same as your router. If you feel your router does not have enough processing power or memory to deal with your needs, buy a better router or use a computer as gateway.

That is complete nonsense. You just need a good router, or to install a computer as the gateway in the worst case scenario. If you establish the priorities in your router you will not be any worse than if you establish it on your ISP.

Realistically you can't have one without the other, and either way it should not be their decision what should be prioritized, they are selling the band, you should be able to use it as you wish and give priority to whatever you feel that deserves it.

It is impossible not to mix the two cases if you open Pandora box. Sure you can use QoS inside your network, but Comcast or any other provider has no right to control your flux. They sell the band, you use it as you please and control it as you please.

Sure, but they don't have 3 second latency now and they won't have it ever if the ISPs invest the necessary amount of money in infrastructure. Japan and Korea ISPs do...

I would rather prefer to open the market to anyone who wants to provide the service without unnecessary restrictions as government concessions. Failing that I can be satisfied with legislation that forces the providers to offer a service of reasonable quality to the user as a condition to their concessions.
