Copowi: an ISP Based on Net Neutrality

Here's an ISP that centers around net neutrality:

Within and subject to the constraints of the law and our Terms of Service, we guarantee:

• We will not block, degrade or modify data users send or receive over the Internet.
• We will not discriminate between network traffic on the basis of who it came from or where it is going to for some commercial advantage.
• Where possible we will only deal with wholesale service providers who support keeping the Internet open and fair, in the same way.

That third point is a bit difficult to implement, given that Copowi provides its DSL as a reseller for AT&T, Quest, and Verizon, but at least their heart's in the right place: they're for equal access, innovation, participation, and lower cost.

Now if they can also deliver reliable and inexpensive service with good marketing....
