Price based discrimination sound discriminatory but non price based would actually sound insanely discriminatory as internet is a right of every citizen and rights cannot be discriminated.

There can be an exception however: if the non-price based discrimination is for a social cause like providing high speed for NGO's for less price or free/less cost data pack for people stranded in a disaster occuring area.
