AT&T seems to forget that they already get subsidized by us "consumers" by all the right-of-ways their lines are on. They didn't have to buy that land to run their lines, the government paid with out tax dollars for that line. Why would someone want to pay for high-speed service and yet only get whatever crap is willing to pay for preferred access, and the stuff they really want to bring through the internet come through slowly? I don't think it'd be long before customers started complaining that what they want isn't coming through at the speeds they're paying to receive. That, in my view, is fraud.
