Please don't spread this false talking point any further.
https://www.wired.com/2008/09/comcast-disclos-2/
"By a 3-2 vote, the FCC concluded that Comcast monitored the content of its customers' internet connections and selectively blocked peer-to-peer connections in violation of network neutrality rules. The selective blocking of file sharing traffic interfered with users' rights to access the internet and to use applications of their choice, the commission said."
Net neutrality has been the status quo since the start of the internet. First from the threat of regulation, then from Title I, then from Title II after Verizon's lawsuit.

It's been there far longer than you think, just in different forms. It's changed as the internet has.

Net Neutrality is the default position, so in a sense has always existed from the inception of the internet. Only within the last 10 years have telcoms begun a series of intentional efforts to begin throttling, and manipulating traffic in a way that falls outside of the bounds of Net Neutrality.
Lies
Could you please stop posting flamebait to HN? We've asked you before. Eventually we ban accounts that keep breaking the rules.
Net neutrality didn't exist in 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015.
