The trial they performed did measure the network speed when filtering was turned off. One filter slowed things down by nearly a third even when not filtering! But as for how the ISPs would implement this, it's hard to say. There's such a big difference between routing network traffic and performing deep-packet inspection. It's possible that it would be too expensive to maintain two separate types of connection.
One thing's for sure, if this goes ahead your internet access will not get faster or cheaper.
