"Net neutrality proponents argued that these separate lanes for different
kinds of traffic would degrade performance of traffic that isn't favored.
The final FCC order released yesterday addresses that complaint.

"We clarify that a BIAS [Broadband Internet Access Service] provider's
decision to speed up 'on the basis of Internet content, applications, or
services' would 'impair or degrade' other content, applications, or
services which are not given the same treatment," the FCC's final order
said.

The "impair or degrade" clarification means that speeding up is banned
because the no-throttling rule says that ISPs "shall not impair or degrade
lawful Internet traffic on the basis of Internet content, application, or
service."
