Net Neutrality doesn't prevent QoS related management, but it does prevent per site throttling.
My ISP doesn't have a right to throttle streaming video content because they want to sell me a $90 cable package.
I am attentive to Net Neutrality arguments because I care about an open internet, but I have yet to hear one that doesn't betray a total lack of understanding of how the internet actually works; i.e., peering. Perhaps counterintuitively, the FCC is right on the money about rolling back Obama's populist regulations.
