Not if ISPs maintain their monopolies, and convince government that they don't have the funds to improve service if they can't keep their "freedom" to dick over consumers by charging more for the same stuff.
Sure, there would be backlash, but as long as these regional broadband monopolies persist, it's quite difficult for the people and government to negotiate with companies.
As hard as it seems to fight today, we are in a much better position now to prevent these monopolies from gaining more power than we will be if Title II is repealed.
