This is largely correct, though I would add that prior to 2004 nearly all broadband was delivered over telephone wire. That made it Title II.
The first real net neutrality enforcement action was when FCC chairman Michael Powell under George w bush stopped Madison River from blocking a VoIP provider. Powell used Title II.
It took about a month from complaints to action because the FCC had clear authority.
That's why an agency needs clear authority.
If the FTC would have had to act, it would have taken 2 years and the FTC would have had to approve him that that provider had some sort of monopoly power.
