That's actually my point. Since upgrades, etc... all are reflected in our bill. When ISPs cannot charge Netflix and the likes in the long run, wouldn't it be reflected on the Consumer's bill? Or will the ISP business become less profitable than expected (from the eyes of ISPs)?

I see that ISPs (companies) generally want to make more money. Attempting to charge Netflix is an attempt at that. If they are not able to charge Netflix this extra amount, wouldn't it be logical for them to charge consumers more?

As it appears in Netflix's statement, their network is congested. If ISPs want to keep their profit ratio and offer better services to their consumers. Somebody has to pay more. I doubt they would settle for anything less.

Again this is just me. I would be interested to hear if there would be anything preventing ISPs from charging their customers more...
