Putting applications into fast lanes would violate FCC's no-throttling rule.

Now let's get rid of "unlimited" plans that throttle after a certain data limit
Actually just get rid of data caps altogether
And traffic sniffing to detect hotspots/tethering, which often have limits of a few gigabytes even on "unlimited" plans, after which they charge you extra even though it costs them the same as any other traffic.
My T-Mobile plan still throttles YouTube (and some other video streaming sites) to prevent HD video playback unless I buy a HD video day pass or upgrade my unlimited plan to an even more unlimited plan. I don't mind too much on my phone, since on a small screen 480p is mostly good enough, but I frequently use a VPN on my tablet to bypass the throttle since depending on the content, 480p can look pretty rough on the larger screen.
Yes! My normal speed already has a built-in data limit by virtue of the possible data with that speed over the billing period.
Fuck yes. This is so overdue
