I'm an ISP. Reddit just foiled my evil plan to get rid of net neutrality. I'm really sad. Then I realize that that I have an area where I have no other ISPs competing with me. I raise my price to $100 for them because nothing in the net neutrality legislation was stopping me from doing it before.

I'm an ISP and I have 2 customers; Peter and Paul. They both pay me 50 dollars a month. I'm an evil greedy capitalist ISP so I'd like to raise the price but if I do then one of them will probably leave so I have to keep it at 50. Peter watches Netflix 12 hours a day which uses 95% of my bandwidth but Paul only goes on Facebook for like 30 minutes a day which uses 5%. Because of net neutrality I can't charge Peter 95 dollars and Paul 5 dollars, because all traffic must be "equal". I go and lobby the government to lift net neutrality, but Netflix gets a bunch of Reddit sheep to stop me because Peter would probably cut back on his Netflix usage which would hurt it's bottom line.
