Net neutrality champs or not, would any of us pay for an ISP without the 'five boner porn package' and the 'google suite'?
I would. I use the web for reference and news. All of my movies, music, television, and porn I get exclusively through p2p. If I had to pay extra for Google, I'd switch to another search engine (I'd like think most folks would as well, and that Google is quite aware of this).
If my DSL goes up in price, I'll drop it and go back to using open wireless. ISP prices should only ever go down over time.
The beauty of this, and what makes this case different from all the others involving the RIAA, is that they're facing a countersuit - they can't drop the case and have it go away, unless they can convince Nesson & Tenenbaum and a team of Harvard law students to give up as well.

Hell, I'd go up just to get away from the yahoos down here.
