What's this?

I think they tried to make a funny video, but their analogy wasn't very

accurate.

Net neutrality isn't about charging more for faster speed. Heck, some providers (including mine) do that already.

Net neutrality is about providers giving bandwidth priority to their own content over 3rd party content.

Probably a more accurate example for Burger King would be to replace them with BurgerMart that sells both Whoppers and Big Macs. You can get a Whopper now for $4, but a Big Mac will either cost you $4 and take 10 minutes, or you can get it now for $5. All because Burger King decided to pay BurgerMart the extra fee to deliver their content, but McDonald's didn't.
