People against net-neutrality either:
1. Don't know what net-neutrality really is
2. Are against it because their "team" is against it.
3. Or are getting paid to oppose it

I must say that my impression of the issue is totally opposite, because to me the idea of net neutrality makes no technical sense whatsoever. There's a multitude of reasons one might want to shape the traffic.
Net neutrality is a push by the big corporations to avoid having to pay for the pipeline they use. Google, Netflix, and the like that use huge amounts of bandwidth. You are witnessing rent seeking 101, the corporations on one side are trying to get regulations to help themselves.
Carrying the traffic from the peering exchange to the end customer is what the end customer is paying the ISP for. Charging for that again is double dipping, using the leverage created by the last mile monopoly to charge for what has already been paid for.
