The internet is full of information and other resources which can only be accesses by few people or can only be accessed at a cost, There are many of these areas online that people only have limited access to. People who have Fiber optic Broadband rather than Cable have internet speeds up to about 100MBit's a second where people who use a telephone cable have about 20MBit's a second which is a huge difference and allows people with fiber-optic internet More and faster access to the internet. The people with the slower internet suffer when there are multiple devices using the internet at once the download/upload speeds is shared between these devices which can severely slow down a households internet if there are several users online. It is unfair to the public to not be able to access certain places Like Facebook if your under 13.people who have a slow internet will have problems trying to watch HD videos on YouTube because there internet cannot download the places faster.
EG. Some online games are free with paid features and you have to pay to be able to get some of the items and parts of the game, like Runescape there is a Free2Play area and worlds and Pay2Play areas and worlds. Another example of this is programs online that you have a two week free trial with limited features then you have to pay for full unlimited access.
