I'm not against net neurality, but ISPs would lower prices, as smaller ISPs would charge less to stay competitive.
When people can charge whatever they want, its a free market right?
except you missed the monopolies part. in most cases consumers have only 1 ISP to chose from so small companies won’t help here.
Yes, but it could open up opportunity for new smaller players.
I don't think their monopoly would last very long, if cheaper options became available.

I'm optimistic too, about the creation of new ISPs, but it'll take a long time. Necto Lab is only taking 5 small ISPs right now, and the number of new ISPs created as a result of startyourownisp.com can't be that many (there's a 25k capital requirement, at the very minimum).
My rural town will likely not see the benefits from competition for a long time.
Why would ISPs lower prices? They have monopolies in most markets so there is virtually no force driving prices down.
