It’s entirely possible that there is a non-neutral ISP service that would benefit customers. Allowing Netflix to co-locate for free is one example. T-Mobile’s voluntary video slow down in exchange for zero rating is another.

Larger manufacturers can negotiate contracts for this sort of thing, but for an individual, it's only really possible if I can get a really restrictive plan.
