Also are ISPs really pushing for the removal of net neutrality as hard as people say? It seems like with net neutrality gone, the "little guy" will have a much bigger impact in the market and some of these big piece of shite companies like Cox will actually have to improve their services.
No. This couldn't be more wrong. Cox will be able to directly censor or throttle your internet, without any consequences. Verizon has been pushing this hard. Ajit Pai is a former Verizon lawyer. The net neutrality law was put into effect because Verizon was slowing down website, including Netflix. This was not a premptive regulation. It was because what people currently fear, has already happened.

You're basically just parroting everything I've seen on Reddit today, including graphics. That graphic is straight up fear mongering. It's like saying that just because I can light my house on fire I'll do it.
Just because an ISP can bundle sites in packages doesn't mean they'll do it. As soon as they do, they pave the way for competition in their regions. Companies like Cox have worked for years to buy out competition in their regions, why would they give it right back?
