One of the bigger issues with net neutrality right now is that it's technically illegal for a cell provider to offer access to certain streaming services free of charge (like playing Spotify doesn't count against your data) while not extending the same offer to other services. Those violations aren't currently being enforced, but they could be.
You have no clue what net neutrally even is.. It's regulation that states no data can be discriminated against in favor of other data. The govt doesn't need net neutrally to regulate the internet, if you believe your talking heads telling you it's about regulating things other than data discrimination you are really fucking dumb.

The govt will regulate what they want on the internet regardless of net neutrally or not. There is not a single fucking down side of net neutrally for consumers. Not having net neutrally just means ISPs can ass rape you on data charges just like the cell phone companies do.

Stop being a fucking meat puppet.
