Internet speed guarantees must be realistic, says ...
They would just game it then and underinvest on peering (similar to what happened in the netflix/Comcast scenario). What good is 1gbit guaranteed to your ISP if the entire ISP only has 10mbps to the rest of the world?

Presumably peering congestion would be one of the regulated metrics, just like voltage would be for an electric utility.

Better than having 10mbps to your ISP and your ISP having 10mbps to the rest of the world, if you're paying for 100
