The bandwidth problem is invented IMO, to do just what you summarized.
Create an internet blockage then charge more to unblock the created blockage.

This problem seems to be only happening in America.

Every time I see this bandwidth argument, I wonder what’s the difference between me doing on demand video, or watching what the providers choose to show me over their on air/cable channels through their cable box.

It all gets to my home over the same wires.

I think the real issue is that they’re not happy that I can choose what to watch, rather than what they want to show me, and I don’t have to watch their commercials.
