NN isn't about the raw speed. It's about ensuring content from ISP's competitors is available at the same speed as your ISP's content.

If ISPs were just a dumb pipe, this wouldn't be a problem. But most of the major players are part of massive media conglomerates and have incentive to throttle/restrict certain content.
