21 of the last 23 years of the Internet in the US, there has not been net neutrality. Turned out really bad huh.
Net neutrality didn't exist in 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015.

"By a 3-2 vote, the FCC concluded that Comcast monitored the content of its customers' internet connections and selectively blocked peer-to-peer connections in violation of network neutrality rules. The selective blocking of file sharing traffic interfered with users' rights to access the internet and to use applications of their choice, the commission said."
Net neutrality has been the status quo since the start of the internet. First from the threat of regulation, then from Title I, then from Title II after Verizon's lawsuit.
It's been there far longer than you think, just in different forms. It's changed as the internet has.
