idea that all data you can find on the internet is equal. You cannot charge more for some data over another.
But how would this affect my daily browsing of the internet? I am not that computer savvy, but are you saying that without Net Neutrality when I stream Netflix, it would be slower because I have service through Comcast?

NetFlix buffers a lot for people on certain ISPs. There is plenty of capacity on both sides of the network, literally the only thing causing the problem is an ISP like Verizon refusing to install a few more pieces of equipment to allow more capacity between networks. LINK/
