Last mile is really the only thing in question here.
1. Because that's where there's a real lack of competition
2. Because traffic going long range is already "slowed down" even with net neutrality. If you are paying a CDN, they likely have paid for higher priority "leased lines" between their data centers, while the rest of the traffic goes over the "regular internet" (keep in mind that the "leased line" and the "regular internet" here are probably the same fiber, the distinction is legal, because under net neutrality carriers are still allowed to charge differently for "leased lines")
