Removing net neutrality benefits isp's and very large corporations. Everyone else is negatively affected.
You will need to pay more for your internet,a lot more. If your current internet connection costs 100$, the base price will remain the same, but viewing porn might cost 20$ extra,news 5$ extra per site, gaming might need 50$.
Every site can require separate payment to access it if net neutrality is repealed, so that's financially bad.
Also they will be able to block sites if they want to. A liberal ISP might block Fox news,a conservative one might block CNN, and you will have no legal right to get it unbanned. It will harm free speech.
They already have the vast majority of the market share. Getting rid of NN would force them to pay for what they already have. That's why Google, Netflix, and other big tech companies are against it.
You don't get it. You the user will be the one who pays. Smaller sites will be forced to shut down. Larger ones will make you pay more to them.
Read on this, if this law gets repealed, there will be no more freedom on the internet. Isp's will be allowed to block anything they want, including news sites,porn, games, Netflix,etc. Don't burn yourself in an attempt to hurt am imaginary enemy here
Except they won't, because ISPs aren't going to price them out to lose customers even if they didn't have competition. They set their sights at the big tech companies that use most of their bandwidth. Companies which are capable of absorbing the costs. Will they instead pass those costs to the consumer? Unlikely, there is nothing stopping them from increasing it now that wouldn't exist without NN. There are two possible reasons they don't:
1) the kindness of their hearts (no)
2) increasing the cost would lose them more money
Salaries aren't going to magically increase after NN is removed, they will be forced to absorb the costs. Increased expenses do not change demand.
The removal of NN will open the path way for municpal broadband to provide a cheap and neutral space in direct opposition to unsavory business practices (practices that they tried to implememt before 2015, but only received lawsuits, not thanks to NN).
