I expect this should hit bad WordPress developers hardest, since the throw-another-plugin-on-the-fire philosophy has led to pages that load 15 javascript libraries for features not even present on that page.
Without NN won't ranking pages by "page speed" simply enhance the benefits of purchasing "fast lanes" near end points (on previously dumb pipes ;-) to those willing to do so?
It sounds like you're describing a Content Delivery Network (CDN). Many sites use CDNs in order to serve content from as close to the user as possible, often from within the ISP's network. This is unrelated to Net Neutrality, and has been common practice for years. Using a CDN is one way to speed up your site, but there are lots of other important steps like reducing dependencies and compressing your resources. (Sour…

Wordpress is well optimized from my experience. It loads the page and the text first so you can start reading. The images and scripts are delayed and cached. Comments are last. Pictures and thumbnails have various resolutions to improve load time.
Wordpress itself is good at getting the important content to you ASAP. Many Wordpress plugins are not as good.

For example, here's a query that measures the 95th percentile of first meaningful paint (FMP) grouped by whether the site is a known WordPress site (eg based on detection of resources like `wp-content`): https://bigquery.cloud.google.com/savedquery/226352634162:4b...
The results show that the tail of WordPress FMP is actually about even with the rest of the mobile web:
WordPress: 10.9 seconds !WordPress: 11.4 seconds
Of course, FMP is just one heuristic for mobile web performance. We could look at other metrics like speed index, time to interactive, onload, etc.
Looks like another victory for http://ampletter.org/
