Re: Conversely

When Akimai experiences a hardware failure, all kinds of net content have the potential to go "missing".

Screwups are along the same line.

Cox offered a security app that had blacklisted craigslist.

Cox is still neutral regarding craigslist. The security app is not.

Many, many of the ads on Craigslist, really aren't family friendly. I don't blame the app.

This one's on the end user, as long as Cox advises their users that uninstalling restores connectivity.

What happens when too many packets drop, "get lost", or are routed horribly?

You're missing the comparison. I'm not saying these are net neutrality violations, but rather the effect is--or could be--similar. The, "Oh, if a few packets get dropped, that isn't our problem. That website could upgrade to our AwesomeService Plus™ routing to gaurantee their traffic." is the comparison to which I was referring.

No it isn't

What you are talking about is like saying that no internet connection and a reduced speed are the same thing when they clearly are not.

Unintentional and limited is not a smaller proportion of intentional and broad. These are not cases of network neutrality violations, they are someone accidentally screwing up!

Naturally, it is an exaggerated proportion, but the similarity is intact.
