Thank you! This resolution, in short, was aimed at preventing the FCC from eliminating Net Neutrality. That means a "YEA" vote was a vote for preserving Net Neutrality, and a "NAY" vote was a vote for allowing the FCC to eliminate Net Neutrality.
If I am reading your link correctly, it looks like 47 Democrats (and 2 independents who caucus with the Democrats) voted "YEA" -- that is, 100% of Democrats voted "yes" to preserving Net Neutrality. On the other hand, it looks like 47 Republicans voted "NAY", with only 3 voting exceptions. That is, 94% of Republicans voted against saving Net Neutrality.
It's amazing that they were split almost entirely along party lines! Democrats unanimously voted in favor of preserving Net Neutrality, while the huge majority of Republicans voted against Net Neutrality.

It's been split almost perfectly along party lines the whole time this has been an issue, with FCC votes exactly following party lines on each of the regulatory proposals (the 2010 Title I rules, 2015 Title II rules, and the current repeal of the 2015 rules).
