Re:Google and Microsoft Cheat on Slow-Start. Should You? by cperciva on Friday November 26, 2010 @03:20PM (#1943179)
Network neutrality says "you shouldn't be able to buy better network performance than your competition". What google is doing is violating standards in order to give themselves better network performance than their competition.

It's not exactly the network neutrality issue, no; but it's related, and where it differs, I'd say that what Google is doing is worse -- at least having companies pay for packet prioritization won't cause internet congestion collapse.
