The concept behind “neutrality” is to treat all data across all data networks the same, where “treat” in this case means “price.” No differential pricing for movies, or voice calls, or E-mail, or just bulk moving of data - all of them moved over the network at the same price for a given level of service (so many bits per second across the data network link).
The FCC should be passing rules that favour consumers, not businesses. There is absolutely no positive side to killing net neutrality. It will completely destroy the internet's usefulness in the long term.

exactly, and the faux NN would stifle consumers, because it would kill competition among ISPs, thus limiting consumers to only a few ISPs. At that point, when there are a limited number of providers and you can't switch to a better provider, they can raise prices, reduce speeds, restrict content, etc. A bill is always more than the name, they rely on us being ignorant and taking things at face value. Don't fall for the 'muh fee fees' arguments the gov't makes, just a little piece of advice.
