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.
