Google has been very vocal on its stance for net neutrality. Now, Richard Whitt--Senior Policy Director for Google--announces that Google will take an even more active role in the debate by arming consumers with the tools to determine first-hand if their broadband connections are being monkeyed with by their ISPs:

I hate this. We are paying for unlimited usage, but ultimately it's not unlimited. Then with the ISP's talking about subscription service to the internet, it is time to start a new internet. Actually, this would not be hard at all, if you had the financial backing.
