The latter. There is no incentive to pay for additional bandwidth if there is enough capacity for everyone, so supply is restricted. Thus the ISP saves on network infrastructure and gets additional income to prioritize higher-status traffic. What a clusterfuck, I'm embarrassed by my government.

My question is: why aren't the companies being asked to pay for priority telling their users about the problem? Where are the JS libraries that show a warning to the users of those ISPs?
