It's more of making sure that traffic is treated equally. So an ISP cannot slow down any traffic from NetFlix or Amazon video while keeping their content at full speed. Maybe they don't like tigerdroppings so they decide that downloads to their customers from tigerdroppings run really really slow.
To further the point. Say you have Comcast and someone else has Verizon. Comcast wants to charge tigerdroppings, but TD refuses. So now when you click on links on the Poli Board threads take close to a minute to open up. When you try to post half of your requests time out. Your broadband connection appears to act like an old dial up connection. Yet at the same time, someone on Verizon can post as fast as they want and see the board normally. At the end of the day you might give up and go to another site because you figure that TD just sucks. You can't see when its the middle guy (Comcast) who is really screwing things up for you. You lose out. TD loses out. If TD doesn't want to lose half of its customers, it has to pay an extra fee to Comcast. Of course then Verizon can start doing the same thing.
Net Neutrality would prevent Comcast from discriminating against traffic based on who is supplying it.
How is this fixed. But I can't help but think if Obama is for it, there are alternative measures, which could lead to content censorship just like the FCC did with conservative radio.

net neutrality.
it was the law of the land a year ago, until the court struck down the FCCs power to regulate net neutrality without designating ISPs common carriers.

Negative Ghostrider... unless you're saying his analysis of NN is breathtaking in the degree his take bereft of of any cognitive thought.
For just one time. That's all I'm hoping for. For one time can't we all agree to keep the govt from controlling something else?

Tigerdroppings could respond by posting average download times of ISPs for their consumers to see. Consumer sees that Comcast is gumming up his favorite site...he changes to Verizon who doesnt
