Republicans in Congress yesterday unveiled a new plan to fast track repeal of the Federal Communications Commission's net neutrality rules.
Introduced by Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) and 14 Republican cosponsors, the "Resolution of Disapproval" would use Congress's fast track powers under the Congressional Review Act to cancel the FCC's new rules.
Saying the resolution "would require only a simple Senate majority to pass under special procedural rules of the Congressional Review Act," Collins' announcement called it "the quickest way to stop heavy-handed agency regulations that would slow Internet speeds, increase consumer prices and hamper infrastructure development, especially in his Northeast Georgia district."

Don't even to look to know these 15 sponsors have received campaign contributions from interested parties.
ETA:
If there weren't government protected monopolies, this wouldn't be an issue. When Google Fiber comes to town, all of the sudden prices drop and speeds increase. fricking arse clowns.

I want to believe that this would be used for good. But I know it wont.

Isn't the best way to do that to allow a free market with minimal government regulation?

Might as well pay them to lay the infrastructure everywhere and other ISP's use it. Similar to here.
My ISP is the only ISP in the UK that doesn't share the fiber to door or fiber to cabinet infrastructure here.
