Wait... so how did we all manage without "net neutrality" rules in place from the initial explosion of the world wide web in the 90s all the way up to 2015? Net neutrality is archaic and makes the net about as "neutral" as the Affordable Care Act actually makes health care "affordable" for the average person (hint: it doesn't). At the core of net neutrality is the central question of who should get to control access and traffic to the internet, governments or private companies, and both have significant pros and cons.
The real issue is there are only a handful of telecom / ISPs here in the US, and they each have a near-monopoly on TV, internet and phone service in every region of the country. Years ago you had dozens of smaller, regional cable providers for example, but as the bigger ones like Comcast took over and expanded their share of the market, prices started going up and up every year and consumers had less and less of a choice. The cable / internet companies should be broken up to allow for more consumer choice and more competition in the market.
