Yes a faster connection will cost more and if you need it to consume or distribute 1,000s of gb a minute. Pay for it.

We're already paying for it. Do you own
any websites or do any kind of marketing that needs webhosting?
As a producer, you want to give your visitors faster access? You get a higher data plan/broader pipe.
Do the terms
shared hosting,
dedicated hosting,
vps server mean
anything to you?
That's, in terms you might understand: slow lane, highway, autobahn.
Those without a clue (like you) and those that have something to gain with the repeal of net neutrality, say "fast lanes" will be good.
Except, they
ALREADY EXIST.
In short, the repeal of net neutrality means: giving an unprecedented amount of control to ISPs, and allowing them to double-dip consumers since we'll be paying for the increased costs that this would entail.

No, the digital revolution changed the game, disrupted your business model, and you couldn't adapt.
But guess what? You're not alone. The internet/digital revolution changed pretty much EVERYBODY'S game.
Go ask those in journalism how they feel about the internet/twitter/social media. Or those in the printing industry.
When was the last time you saw a bike courier? What about photographers, how do they feel about digital technology?
And what about film development companies? And the thousands of companies that developed products related to it?
One can choose to feel bitter about it, or one can try to adapt.
I know which one you chose
