Net neutrality isn’t related to Internet speeds. Good speeds are just driven by having competition.

Comcast was suddenly able to provide 1gbps for the same price as an 80mbps package when a fiber competitor entered the market.

Even with net neutrality, there is no incentive to make the internet better as an operator if you’re operating in a government granted monopoly/duopoly market.



Net neutrality eliminates the ability of an operator to discriminate and offer uncapped data or higher speed passes to just YouTube.
