I agree CISPA/PIPA were better, but that's because it was a much more clear message, and a more clear threat to all big companies.

The sad truth is ending net neutrality actually helps enough big companies (access networks for sure; large content sites who can pay, to reduce the threat from smaller sites...) that it's not going to face the same kind of opposition from tech.

A lot of the same companies that would win with anti net neutrality legislation being passed also supported SOPA/PIPA so I don't see the big tech divided don't do anything angle being applicable.

No one is willing to do anything that would give up ad revenue or clicks.

Shit like this makes donating to the EFF feel like a giant waste of money.
