TLDR: You don't know what Net Neutrality is.
I would rather have no internet at all, than live in a country that rules not by law or order, but by the whim of bureaucrats.
I would rather the free market find solutions. When the gov't was in cahoots with the railroads in the 1800s you could have asked the same question. "Would you rather have goods ran by horse across country at MUCH higher prices?!" I would answer the same. The free market and inventive nature of humans grew beyond the limits of railroad. We invented the internal combustion engine and placed them on wheels. This is not a static world. We will find a better route to free and cheap internet via liberty. I don't need to pay hounds of the gov't to threaten lives with swat raids on non-complaint ISPs.
