What we talk about when we talk about net neutrality: competition. That's the root of the issue. This debate would be moot if we enforced antitrust laws with any teeth. In fact, in a real competitive landscape, we might even be better off without neutrality rules, because provider A could offer a neutral connection while provider B may want to offer 4k Netflix at no additional charge or something. Unfortunately, since we don't have that, and can't have that without any real antitrust enforcement (which has all but lapsed in America), this is a shitty choice. My guess is that it won't affect as much as doomsayers are predicting, but we need to vote these pricks out of office to put this choice where is should be anyway: Congress.
