content: The two are quite different. Pretty sure these "fast lanes" would differentiate between traffic, not just the connection as a whole. Which could mean that at some point it may lead to certain websites to pay their way to getting data delivered faster than others, or some not at all. Having your net messed with is frustrating as hell. As an example from over a decade ago, I was getting slow speeds sometimes and not others but I couldn't quite place it. After a while I figured out that it was torrents that were slow, but web browsing was normal or as it should have been. Called the ISP and talked my way to a level 4 tech, who explained to me that they "prioritized" HTTP traffic over BitTorrent traffic. Needless to say I wasn't a customer with that ISP for long after that.
