This is a point that is frequently missed and ends up muddying the actual net neutrality discussion. For cable providers, Internet (big I internet, not just a network that uses the same protocols) is carried on certain channels with vod and normal cable channels carried on other channels. For providers like Uverse, it's not separate frequency channels, but separate vlans with dedicated bandwidth on each (very similar model, though, big I internet traffic is separate from other services). Where the neutrality line is crossed is when all traffic on the big I Internet segment isn't treated equally. In this case, the separation of billing is giving that traffic preferential treatment over other big I Internet video streaming.
