    Could you perhaps post the text here for those of us who won't go to Gizmodo?

    It talks about Google restricting the use of a consumer's fiber connection to consumer uses. Making it a commercial server/host delivering terabytes of content, essentially an enterprise rather than consumer line, won't be allowed under the TOS. Are there any ISP's that don't put any restrictions on consumer data connections? Honest question.

    In any event it's not something that's counter to net-neutrality in the first place as far as I can tell.

    EDIT: Here's the official stance on servers and Google Fiber.

    I wouldn't imagine so, no. Legally, they must restrict some use (botnets, spam, and the like), regardless of the plan being purchased. But I'm certain they all go further than that.
