> IMO it seems likely ISPs knew the rules were likely to come back so they avoided most of the practices that would generate outrage (throttling streaming and other popular services unless you pay an additional fee).

And several states passed their own laws.

... and then these same ISPs complained that there was no single "law of the land". We heard it would be an "unnecessary burden" for these ISPs to have to deal with Net Neutrality in a state-by-state basis.

As a group, they sure do love to complain. They voted to get rid of the national standard in the first place! Then when real solutions are being voted on they love to yell and screech about how it's "THE END OF THE INTERNET AS WE KNOW IT!!!" yeah... Bunch of whiners.
