Yeah, but nobody trusts ISPs to prioritize traffic; that's what the decade of net neutrality discussion has been about. If they start prioritizing Zoom over Netflix now, it just opens the door to continuing that prioritization (for pay) after the crisis.



@Hamuko you don't need to buy it, the ISP owners will quickly buy that argument for you :)

I'm not sure if I buy the argument that doing something weird during a state of emergency is a valid cause to keep doing it outside of it.
