Re: umm it's their network Gee, odog, do you think the network owner should be entirely free of any obligation not to discriminate?
What if they start refusing to provide access to websites owned by Hispanics? Or if they refuse to provide service to Arabs?
I'm even more troubled with your concept of network owner as God, now that you've indicated you are one.

i don't own a network, i just work for an ISP. don't get racial discrimination confused with business competition, they are on different ends of the spectrum. their motivation also is for massively different reasons. network owners are not god. this is a business, and they have a right to whatever they want within the word of the law.
i don't agree with breaking other peoples VOIP, just the fact that the broadband provide has every legal right to do so.(it's has come in meetings and is something i have petitioned against)
how about blocking access to kiddie porn the way BT is doing? i suppose you don't agree with them doing that? someone complaining that their VOIP stutters is like someone complaining that they have lag in everquest. the provider can either fix it or just tell them to deal with it. the customer then has a choice to either switch providers or deal with it.
