Except insofar as the promise can have been read to be an implicit promise to assume dictatorial powers and impose laws on net neutrality by fiat over the resistance of Congress, I'm not sure how its about breaking a promise. Obama did seek net neutrality laws in his first year in office, and his appointees to the FCC have repeatedly instituted net neutrality regulations, only to have them turned back by the courts. And are, by their own statements, preparing to do so again.
Yeah, there's anonymous-sourced rumors that the new draft would expressly allow something that most people would see as contrary to net neutrality -- rumors that the FCC Chair has expressly denied. The actual proposal will be up for public review in a short period, and we'll all be able to intelligently discuss its actual contents rather than reacting to rumor then.
Yeah, we shouldn't pay attention to politicians breaking their promises! It's not like what politicians do has any effect on our lives!
