   The coronavirus pandemic has served as the biggest stress test for the   
   internet to date. The performance of regional networks degraded   
   significantly, especially regarding upload speeds, during a time when   
   an online connection was a true lifeline. But would the 2015 network   
   neutrality regulations have made a difference in consumer experience   
   during the pandemic? Would net neutrality have provided faster   
   neighborhood internet speeds or more consistent pricing? This post   
   examines instances of pricing changes, throttling and traffic   
   prioritization during the coronavirus crisis to answer these questions   
   and zooms out to the larger internet ecosystem beyond just internet   
   service providers (ISP).
