What is the benefit/consequence of Net Neutrality? Should it have been repealed? What impact will this have?

A consequence would be an ISP throttling the speed of your net. Like that high speed internet you got right now? Six months from now you could be paying double for that same speed. Or you could be paying the same amount you currently pay for a quarter of the speed.
Like watching Hulu/Netflicks/Youtube Red? Guess what? You're current internet subscription no longer supports them. You now have to upgrade your internet package.
It is possible the consumers could benefit from an increase in ISP competition, but when you have ISPs like Comcast who regularly attempt to rip people off it does make things look rather pessimistic.

I find it odd that before net neutrality we had the internet and it worked pretty good, this morning when I turned on the computer and checked the news and now rally point I was shocked to discover that again without net neutrality the internet was still running and working pretty well.
Sort of like the Mayan calendar and Y2K we hit 2000 and everything still ran and passed 2012 and the earth still turned.

Did I have problems before the enactment of the regulation? Nope. Is the outcry from the people opposed to the repeal outsized? Yep (they called in a bomb threat to try and stop it). So, to me that means to me that this is no big deal. What I will say about the only non-partisan information that I could find deals with how this was put under Title II because the Obama administration couldn't get it done any other way. Title II is an outdated reg that covers old phone lines. If things need regulation, do it in the light of day, don't try to shoehorn it into an arcane area so you can get it done... My 2 cents.
