What is net neutrality?

I googled this and it still doesn’t make any sense.

Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers must treat all data on the Internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication.[2] For instance, under these principles, internet service providers are unable to intentionally block, slow down or charge money for specific websites and online content.

Does this benefit online sales for a boutique on Magazine Street that sells high end dresses for women or Saksfifthavenue.com?

Being read like that it just sounds so stupid for anyone to be against it that doesn't financially benefit from the end of net neutrality. Even then, there still shouldn't be enough people to actually repeal it, yet here we are.

Since Saks has more cash flow, my guess is they will be favored as their marketing budget will include funds securing spots for internet access that a smaller boutique might not be able to afford. The idea behind net neutrality is that everyone has equal access.
Does this benefit say a boutique on Magazine Street that sells high end dresses for women or Saksfifthavenue.com?

Exactly, if the Magazine St boutique happens to be owned by a daughter of an ISP owner it could go the other way.
Of course the most likely scenarios are when ISPs are also content providers and start to throttle other content providers who compete with them.

I had the goal of net neutrality explained to me as the attempt to keep the online playing field level for all consumers and competitors.

Essentially that you pay for a certain bandwidth, and you get it. Simple.
What Comcast, AT&T et all want to do is charge you for bandwidth.....and then if you actually want to get it for certain services like Netflix or YouTube you’ll have to pay a surcharge.
ESPN? Well that’s another surcharge.
And if a 3rd party comes up with an alternate service that competes with a service an ISP overcharges for, well forget surcharges. That shite just gets stifled.
What sucks is that a lot of it will happen behind the scenes like the behavior that caused the FCC to bring the force of law behind what was previously a gentleman’s agreement going back to the birth of the web.
What is hilarious is that the crux of the argument against it is that they will never ever take advantage of their utility style monopolies and do these bad things anyway. They just don’t like being forbidden from doing it.
Seriously.

Where does net neutrality fit in with the Comcast “data plan” robbery scheme?
They are specifically targeting areas that do not have competition for internet services.

The internet was OK before Obama enacted NN. Care to speculate why?
I don't understand people that want the Government to have more control over us.

This is another Gov caused issue. Cut the red tape thus allowing smaller / more ISPs in areas. Also, under Obama many ISPs took billions from us to expand their networks to rural areas and just pocketed the money.

I hope it gets rolled back because of a) the melts, and b) I want people to spend less time on the internet, playing video games, and binge watching shitty tv shows... and instead working on self improvement and contributing to the economy.
