The below pretty much says it all.
Examples of alleged discrimination by some ISPs:
February 2006 - Some customers of Cox Cable in the U.S. are unable to access Craig's List because of a so-called software bug in the Authentium personal firewall distributed by Cox Cable to improve customers' security. The group Save the Internet calls it an intentional act on the part of Cox Cable to protect classified ad services offered by its partners. The issue is resolved by correction of the software as well as a change in the network configuration used by Craig's List. The site's founder Craig Newmark acknowledges it was not an intentional act on Cox's part.
March 2006 - Alberta's Shaw Cable offers a "quality of service" upgrade for their own VoIP service. Vonage complains to the CRTC about Shaw's $10 surcharge on Vonage users, calling it a hidden Vonage tax.
April 2006 - Time Warner's AOL blocks all e-mails that mention www.dearaol.com, an advocacy campaign opposing the company's pay-to-send e-mail scheme. An AOL spokesman calls the issue an unintentional "glitch."
July 2006 - Canadian telephone giant Telus blocks access to voices-for-change.ca, a website supporting the company's labour union during a labour dispute, as well as over 600 other websites, for about 16 hours.
