> In 2017, Pai voted with his fellow Republican commissioners to remove rules that prohibited internet providers from blocking or slowing traffic to particular sites and offering higher speed “lanes” at higher prices.

Net neutrality died, and all of the doom and gloom we were told would happened never materialized.
