Yup, it's already at work. Sites like Netflix, Putlocker, already are experiencing slow down at peak hours since Net Neutrality came down. I have a 15/5 download/upload, running on FioS Verizon. Never had an issue with Putlocker, not ever. Fastest it could be, until that very next day after Net Neutrality came down, I am experiencing bandwidth issues. Slow connection, and I would have to leave the computer for it to load at a speed that's about as slow as loading a website attracted to ads, adware, and flash video playing on the side bar. This is just awful. What can we do?
ISP already at work - Netflix, Putlocker, etc . . .

It's not net neutrality, it's peering.
ISP's have to pay to increase the bandwidth to other ISP's. They push that off as much as they can, and as a result, you end up with slow peering. Peering is expensive, as is bandwidth.
Net neutrality is a whole other, much more serious problem. But what specific thing happened that makes you think this has to do with creeping policy change?

So people want the Internet to be this wild west where the government doesn't step in.
In order to achieve that, people are now asking the government to step in and tell privately owned ISPs what they can and can't do with their own equipment.
Can someone please tell me how this is not a contradiction?

You have the power of free speech. But to stand on my property, you have to pay me the amount for how long you plan to stay there. Just because I really don't want you there, and I don't want to infringe your right. What I can do is, I'll raise the price to $500.00 an hour, just to stand there. See how long your free of speech last. Make sense now?
