Good, the last thing we need are small ISPs competing against the consolidated media giants.

I work in the Industry and I can assure you Smaller ISPs often offer faster speeds without datacaps than comcast and such. There are some rural places where this is the exception but often the larger ISPs either aren't offering anything or everyone is offering the bare minimum.

Small ISPs can't manage 100/20?

I am on a small ISP and the best I can buy is 20/1. I am not sure how this proposal would change that situation.

Well I would say that's not because it's harder for them than a large company.

I wasn't saying small ISPs are necessarily good. Just that this rule won't favor big over small, and we shouldn't use "think of the small ISPs" as a reason to dislike it.
