There is a market solution that involves retaining net neutrality. It's called charging by usage rather than by bandwidth, or charging extra for usage beyond a set amount. Most people already get charged this way on their wireless data plans. Nothing in net neutrality even addresses this. Instead, ISPs would rather interfere with commerce, hinder competition, and destroy the normal functioning of the Internet.
That's aside from the fact that the only reason it overwhelms the network is because Verizon over-sold its capacity to consumers. They sold X megabits per second to Y consumers at the same time, but they only have the capability to provide X/10 Mbps to those consumers at the same time. Forgive me for not having much sympathy.
How about I open an all-you-can-eat buffet and sell weekly full-access tickets to people. I do this hoping they won't actually come every day for all three meals, but they do. Now I decide I don't want to honor our contract because I'm not making much money, so dishonestly I start refusing service or have almost no food available at times. An honest company would have renegotiated the contract, you can only come once per day unless you pay extra.
But I know they “oversold” in the sense that they can’t give me 25mb download 24/7. I’m a “residential user”. I can look up the price for a dedicated 25mb link, and it’s a LOT more expensive than what I am paying.
I am sharing with my neighbors, who also don’t all need the bandwidth at the same time.
Hey, if everybody in my neighborhood decided to ALL go to work at precisely 8:00am tomorrow morning, some of us would have to wait 15 minutes to get out of our neighborhood. But I don’t want to pay for a road big enough to get us all out at the same time, because I know that we don’t all leave at the same time.
Same with my internet. “Net Neutrality” will end up making me pay more for my internet, when I don’t need any better service. I prefer a private market solution where I contract for what I want to pay for, and my provider gives me options that include bandwidth sharing for the vast majority of us who still only download a movie to watch once in a while, rather than streaming HD vide 24/7.
