NET NEUTRALITY:

My understanding is commercial sites that pay a "tariff" to large ISPs such as Comcast will have their sites load quicker. Comcast and others will enable this/ So when Barnes&Noble and Amazon compete on the internet the bookseller that pays Comcast to load quicker, is easier to communicate with, has a leg up

Educational sites such as this one pay nothing to Comcast Verizon etc and will be in the slow lane. A graphics heavy thread will take longer to load than a commercial site in the fast lane. At this moment Free Republic gets the same treatment from Comcast (my ISP) as does Amazon. They load equally fast

I'm in favor of net neutrality

Your understanding is incorrect.
