False statement in the article.: Not even the most extreme bill prevents tiered pricing.

The mistaken quote:

The original comment by the Senator:

Wyden said that he didn't oppose companies offering different speeds of service at different prices, a practice already undertaken by several major Internet providers, provided that content is treated equally within each level of service.
