"This is why Comcast, Verizon, and many of the traditional internet providers have secretly or openly supported net neutrality."
Maybe someone can explain this infographic better than my eyes can?

The companies who benefit from net neutrality with reduced costs are for it. The companies who have large cost increases from net neutrality oppose it.
Right.
This reality spits in the face of what the OP is saying.
He claims that big companies like Verizon and Comcast are openly supporting net neutrality when the evidence clearly shows that those companies, who dam near have a monopoly on the market at this point, are the main ones lobbying against net neutrality.
This goes back to the main argument that people use of "everything the government does is bad". I guess I shouldn't expect anything different in the anarchy forum but let's use some common sense here.
I'm all for fighting against corruption in the government when it's being abused but the greater evil here isn't the government, with it's democratically elected officials.
It's the handful of monolithic corporations which are trying to gouge consumers and stifle their competition.
I would agree with you but net neutrality is bad economics. It hurts who it’s trying to help and only establishes ISP giants as state acknowledged monopolies.
