Exactly. Obama's "net neutrality" initiative didn't add anything meaningful to the way things are done, and repealing it doesn't actually take anything away other than government bloat and unnecessary expenses.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

from what I understand there has never been anything to stop the ISPs from prioritizing packets by type (VOIP/Video vs casual browsing) just from prioritizing by actual service (Netflix, Hulu, etc) and charging those companies for access. The ISPs can still give video a high speed lane, but not differentiate and charge more for Netflix or such. Net neutrality kept the ISPs from gouging their customers or the various services for extra money for specific sites.

OK so I am curious.
Everyone was predicting that all of the ISPs would go insane with power after Net Neutrality ended. Are there any reports of people being charged differently or services being throttled. Or is it too early to tell?
