Disagree

Yes, but only give priority by type (video over images) and not source (big website over little website)

While the NDP supports net neutrality and equal treatment of all internet traffic, they may be open to considering prioritization based on the type of content, such as video over images, if it can be demonstrated that this would not harm competition or create an unequal internet experience. However, they would likely still be cautious about any proposals that could undermine the principle of net neutrality.

Strongly disagree

Yes, only if it’s strictly based on a pay-per-quality model

The NDP would likely disagree with this statement, as they have consistently advocated for net neutrality and equal treatment of all internet traffic. Allowing ISPs to charge based on a pay-per-quality model could lead to a tiered internet system and undermine the principles of fairness and equal access that the NDP supports.
