    I'm going to go ahead and call that BS marketing and a proxy caching service...
    It looks to me that they're not giving you priority access to places like youtube.com and foxnews.com,etc... they have "videotube.com" and "foxynews.com"

    so it looks to me like they cache content from websites on their own premium servers, and serve it up to their customers at premium prices.
    There are lots of factors that can affect your speed to download anything- and it's the lowest common denominator (the bottleneck) when Millions of people hit the same server farm at say foxnews.com after a big news event occurs, their servers are heavily utilized, or their internet connection gets overloaded...

    So I'd say the link you provided is free market at work, not a provider deciding what content is at work, unless you can prove that jointhefastlane is a subsidiary of a core internet provider...
