Problems with Pro-Net Neutraliy Argument

The Pro-Net Neutrality supporters do not adaquately address the problems of congestion. Should Google or other companies be able to "hog" much of the bandwidth without paying any extra fee to the provider? Pro-Net Neutrality supporters argue that companies have an incentive not to increase bandwith, since it gives them an excuse to charge more for premium service. It also gives people an incentive to pay for the premium service. This is a good point, but it does not solve the problem of paying for infrastructure improvements that would help congestion without increasing fees for the average user. Also, they too easily dismiss the notion that a free market would create reasonably priced options for a relatively neutral internet. Consumers want high speed access to all websites, so a niche, at least, for this would most likely remain.
