Some good points being made on both sides of the debate here. I actually work for a company that's been consulting Hands Off the Internet on the anti-Net Neutrality side of things. I've learned a lot about the issue in the past month or so, and what troubles me about the bills the Save the Internet folks are supporting, is they would prohibit the development of a second, high-speed internet tier. I see the devlopment of that second tier as being a huge benefit to making VoIP more reliable, improving online gaming, and making video downloading much more efficient.
