I'm sure they'd like to, but I just don't see them getting away with that.
Any attempt to do this will raise the Network Neutrality Red Flag. In this case, they are giving preferred service to their offering due to not charging Bandwidth Usage to the user's Cap Account (instead of the usual "Pay Us and you will get better QoS" scenario).

I don't think they care about their appearance, there too many red flags out there now for this one to matter. The same preffered status would cause just as many red flags. These services are fast becoming like insurance companies where all they have to do is advertise their product, not deliver. Cherry pick the clientele, and make the consumer jump through hoops just to use the product. And if they bill you wrong, well you better pay it or like Sprint, they might just dump you as a customer for complaining. God help anyone that actually holds a company to what they advertise!
