It's amazing that people can work online, yet not understand both sides of the net neutrality argument.
I've seen the cable TV tiers used as an example a thousand times, but that doesn't apply to the internet. There are multiple cable TV tiers because the cable companies license access from the networks based on subscriber count. They can't get access to broadcast every station without charging everyone $150+ a month. But not everyone wants to pay that, so they offer stripped down packages (thus lowering the licensing fees for the cable company) all the way down to $30 or whatever per month.
You aren't going to get online one day only to find out that Wikipedia is now in the "education tier" that costs $10 a month extra. ISPs do not pay licensing fees to any website.
