Very strongly agree

No, this would allow them to remove competition, create artificial scarcity, and increase prices

This statement aligns with the FDP's advocacy for competition and against monopolistic practices. They would likely agree that allowing ISPs to prioritize access could lead to reduced competition and higher prices, which goes against their economic and digital policies.

No, treat all traffic equally and continue the openness of the internet

Strongly agree

No

Given the FDP's support for net neutrality and equal access to digital resources, they would likely oppose any measures that allow internet service providers to manipulate access speeds based on payment, as it contradicts the principles of an open and competitive internet.

Neutral

Yes, but only give priority by type (video over images) and not source (big website over little website)

While the FDP supports net neutrality, they might see some practicality in prioritizing traffic by type to ensure efficient use of bandwidth. However, this is a nuanced position that could be seen as partially conflicting with a strict interpretation of net neutrality.

Disagree

Yes, only if it’s strictly based on a pay-per-quality model

Although the FDP supports free market principles, a pay-per-quality model for internet access could undermine the principles of net neutrality and equal access. They would likely view such a model with caution due to its potential to create unfair advantages.

Disagree

Yes, this would make the internet faster and more reliable for users

While the FDP values the efficiency and reliability of services, their support for net neutrality suggests they would be skeptical of claims that prioritizing access for certain websites would overall benefit users, especially if it compromises fairness and open competition.
