Who currently is not a "Proponent of net neutrality"? ISPs? I don't think I've ever met a real human who was against net neutrality. What good would even come

Who currently is not a "Proponent of net neutrality"? ISPs? I don't think I've ever met a real human who was against net neutrality.
What good would even come from repelling it?
You have one side saying terrible things can happen, and your argument for the other side is nothing more than "But it didn't happen... yet!"
What's the upside?

Keeping ISP costs low by allowing ISPs to charge heavy bandwidth users for fatter pipes (which, by the way, is how peering agreements are supposed to work). Net neutrality was a lie pushed by Netflix at a time they didn't want to honor their peering agreements, which mandated that the party using disproportionate amounts of bandwidth on the pipe paid for the upgrade. All of the useful proponents of NN fell in line and lied about the doomsday should it be repealed, none of which remotely came to pass because it was a dishonest argument.
