The proposed rules would ...

... prevent the service providers from blocking or discriminating against specific websites,

If some site is serving spam, DDOS's or other disruptive activity I sure hope MY ISP has the right to "discriminate" based on content, if it is deliberately economic carpet bombing with the apparent intent to limit the ISP's ability to serve MOST of their customer base I expect them to block it and announce it.

Not when you take the rights away from the ISP/Network Operator. People want "equal" and everything treated "fairly" well that has to get treated equal and fair as well. No blocks. I agree with you though, but if you block one or filter one, you gotta do it equal. After all that's how Comcast ended up with hard caps. You had a few people on DSLR that raised hell about the caps and tried to sue for a hard number. Well they all got one and then was still pissed off. They got what they wanted but didn't like it.
