I don't believe so. A cross-border connection goes from the provider's Tier 3 ISP, up to a Tier 1 ISP, back down thru the other country's citizen's Tier 3 ISP. It's the consumer-facing Tier 3 ISPs in America which are violating Net Neutrality. Tier 1 providers are typically international and Net Neutrality generally benefits them. Big services like Netflix have business-grade service with their providers (often CDNs above Tier 3 level), which dictate upstream bandwidth as part of the contract.does that mean that with these paid priority lanes, connections across borders will be throttled as well?
