I would not call card carrying EFF members ordinary internet users. We may be vocal but the vast majority of the internet denizens don't know who the EFF is either.

The EFF does represent the concerns that most ordinary internet users should have but I don't know that I would say most of the do have those concerns.

Here EFF is pushing government interference in the market, as pushed by an FCC that is exceeding its authority, all so that consumers can have less choice (after all, if they don't like Binge On, they can choose another carrier that does not have it.) Most users don't share the EFF's concern because what T-Mo is doing does not harm them, so I certainly don't see how users even "should" share EFF's concern here.

The problem with this is, ultimately, it allows providers to create the original "slow lane/fast lane" situation.
