speed up certain types of applications as long as application providers don't have to pay for special treatment

Maybe they mean by doing things like giving slight priority to real-time application traffic like VOIP over streaming over websites vs file transfers, like how home routers can?

Don't think that should be something to charge people more for, though. They're not even able to deliver on their own advertised speeds.

Then they can « downgrade » your gaming experience if you don’t pay more. Not liking this. How is it in Europe ?

I can't speak for all of Europe of course, but in Denmark around the Capital a 1000/1000 Mbit/s wired connection might cost $50 a month, and per default they are unlimited. Cellular seem to be around 70/50 Mbit/s and then you pay for the limit per month 7GB for $9, 300GB for $30.
