I can see lots of opportunities for manipulation of a law or rule on neutrality as well as examples of how it could break down valuable services (think bandwidth hungry tele-surgery at Johns Hopkins). But I haven't experienced problems (other than Verizon DSL crapping out every time it rains) with bandwidth or access on my end as a consumer. (I'm also not continually downloading or streaming movies or music) If it ain't broke, why are we fixing it?
