Re: the confusion about net neutrality

You would have to seek for other means of restricting access - there are multiple different paths to an individual user from a server he tries to access so congestion on just one path won't quite work.  

Last mile is the bottleneck for any such congestion deliberate or otherwise (such as due to over provisioning of users, poorly laid cabling etc) and that is where I suggest net neutrality advocates concentrate their efforts

Now, between the source of the information and me, I'm guessing, there will be several routers, many of them having optic fiber in between. My assumption is also, that the router doing the prioritizing is working entirely at this optic fiber level. Would my argument hold in this case?

Creating a walled garden didn't work back then, and I am guessing that it won't this time around either. The advantage with technological arguments is that you don't have to work too hard proving yourself right. Time will do that for you :)
