The whole point of net neutrality is that the internet in its currently common form doesn't need fixing. The problem is that the internet is being slowly dismantled under our feet.
If net neutrality hadn't passed, the internet (a network of networks) would soon be completely sliced up into corporate fiefdoms resembling the nightmare world of the old mega-BBSs (AOL, Compuserve, Prodigy, Delphi, GEnie.)
ISPs would be elevated from their current posts as relatively unimportant middlemen, to masters of their own private networks, monopolizing all host server duties to themselves, with access to “competing” networks strictly gated, and the true (internetwork) internet physically inaccessible.
All concerns about internet censorship are pseudoscientific bunk, because even the most dictatorial regimes in the world (Arabs, Maoists, Australians, etc…) with far more regulatory tools than any 1st-world government/corporation could ever obtain, have failed utterly in eliminating free speech for their subjects on the internet.
The only plausible way to compromise freedom on the internet, is to compromise the topological unity of the internet itself.
