I find it so strange, that when government monopolies (ACA, for example) are enforced, we are supposed to hate it, but with free market monopolies are enforced, we rejoice it as a win for capitalism

That’s because monopolies can only be created by governments because only government can prevent competition. If in a free market a company gains a huge market share it is because they offer better and or cheaper products which people willingly buy. Microsoft for example in the 90s was the boogie man because they had 90% market share in OS. Did that result in computers being something only the rich could afford? It MS charging more for Windows? Hardly and now just 20 years later it doesn’t even matter because substitutes are available namely mobile devices using Android and iOS.

With cable ISPs they are a monopoly because governments created and protected them. Neutrality would have prevented AOL from existing and that brought the net to the masses.

This is just dumb imo...but maybe I'm not understanding your claim. Are you saying that you believe that--like ACA-- everyone-- will be mandated to buy a certain level of internet services or be fined $700. a year?
How else would your analogy make sense?
