Here is the way I look at it: yes the ISPs were not always held to the laws regarding net neutrality, but what is the harm in keeping them around. Literally the only reason to repeal a law that bans ISPs From limiting access to sites at their discretion is if you are an ISP who wants to do that.
Lets say I owned a restaurant, and I started lobbying to get the government to stop overseeing food standards, you might get rightfully concerned. Sure, I wasn't going to give you rotten food. I promise. Why would I want to give you rotten food? So stop looking at the food i give you guys.
It is a similar thing here. Ya, the internet worked almost exactly the same before this law came into place. And sure, the ISPs maybe won't do all the horrible things people think they will do. On the other hand, why would you Trust the them, The ISPs in this case, When the only reason they would be so aggressively against Net Neutrality is that they don't want it, or the standards it holds the to.
