So... Are you saying abolishing net neutrality is probably going to result in increasing prices for end consumers directly? Perhaps as an outsider I haven't been following this closely enough, but every time I've heard about this issue (and it's been quite a few times in the last few years or so), it's sounded like service providers (e.g. Netflix) are the ones that would end up paying more.

Netflix has to pay more to keep the isp from slowing their streams down which results in Netflix charging their customers more for their service.  It usually works out that way in the end.  Netflix isn't just going to absorb the cost and not pass it down to their consumers.

That's what I originally suggested, and if I understood him right, he suggested consumers are going to be the ones to pay - directly. That's why I was asking.
