Whoever says that they're Net Neutral will get everyone to use them instead of their competitors.

That would be one possibility, but the issue is that ISPs have no competition.

Sorta makes you wonder why they're not doing that. Except not really.

The same reason Net Neutrality will likely be axed: the average American doesn't know what the fuck it is, and probably won't realize it even after they're getting gouged.

It can be explained in 5 seconds.

"Comcast is paid to speed up and slow down certain websites, but not here at Verizon!"

Boom.

Actually the issue is that the people voting for this are ignoring public opinion not that Americans don't know what Net Neutrality is.

That right there is the issue with ISPs and power companies. They divide areas up like the Five Families did with NYC so that one of them is your option and no one else. With cable, if you do have a second option, it's some shit -tastic company no one outside of Bumblefucknowhere has heard of.
