"I think there are ISP options that net neutrality prohibits which are worth exploring for some people, and if repealing net neutrality benefits decentralization or creates a radical shift in the Internet design instead, I won't consider that a catastrophic outcome."

Like what? Any examples? Also the word "innovation" is not an example, even if it's the example I hear most. "You can't possibly understand because it's complicated" isn't an example either. If not I'm fine with the status quo.

Example from the most extreme end of what people hate about what the repeal might mean: I have no problem if an ISP wants to offer an extremely affordable Internet plan that explicitly doesn't work with streaming video for low income families. I'd rather ISPs gate the content by type than cripple them with a 5 Mbps or 10 Mbps throttle like a general low cost Internet line today.

I really hate the current speed tiering model used by most landline providers, because it means ISPs have the capacity available but are intentionally reducing your service quality because you haven't paid them enough to justify providing the best quality they can offer.

I understand why Google and Netflix would be strongly against something like that though, it reduces their customer base for YouTube and Netflix.
