The linked analysis is rather outdated - it mentions that if video over IP becomes popular, perhaps the conclusions might change.
And the article itself points out that it might be important for ISPs to feel the threat of net neutrality regulations.
It's hard to claim that the ISP market, at least in many locations, isn't subject to plenty of market failures that need some kind of remedy.

Linking to Cato is like linking to those "Ludwig van Mises"-inspired think-tanks.
I don't think it's a reputable source for analysis, their bias is obviously apparent and not necessarily based in reality, it's an ideology.

Communism is authoritarian, the opposite of the liberal Democrats in the US.

You wouldn’t know it by reading their periodicals: cancel culture, right vs wrong thinking, evil multinationals, class struggle against the exploiting "rich", the inhuman capitalism, the wonderful socialist utopias and it goes on and on...

This is quite rant-ish. There is a class struggle, there is a rich powerful few who can use their leverages to affect millions of people that have almost no voice. What is your point?
For someone complaining about divisiness you seem to be quite deep down into the rabbit hole.

The world is a large place. With 7.8 billion people in the world today there is bound to be 1 or 2 who go off the deep end. To say those represent the majority is insulting. It's like you're saying, "You wouldn’t know it about the US right wing by reading their periodicals: antisemitic, pro-fascist, anti humans rights, pro totalitarian, and more."
(However, a provider deciding on some kind of 'neutrality' by itself and offering that as a selling point to customers is perfectly fine.0
