How much will the Internet Slowdown slow down my Internet?
It won't. That is not what it is for or what it does even though that is exactly what it says it does. The name is more of an attention getter, and it is apparently working.
Who is slowing down the internet?
Nobody (see above) but it is these guyz here.
Why are they slowing down the internet.
They are not slowing down the Internet, please try to pay attention.
This is a protest against big business trying to take over the free and open Ineternet and control it for their own nefarious purposes.
