Basically the Cable Companies like Comcast and Verizon want to create a "fast lane" for the Internet, while everyone else is on the "slow lane". To get on the "fast lane", people like Google and Netflix would have to pay Comcast for better connections. This allows cable companies to "double dip" and increase their already-obscene amounts of profits.
For start-up companies, like the next Facebook company, or the next Netflix, the "fast lane" will be priced at an incredibly high amount, effectively allowing the large corporations to get larger, eventually leading to monopolies.
With monopolies, and even today, these cable companies are not improving their network speeds and connections. In fact, the USA ranks below 30+ other countries in terms of speed of connection, even though we pay the MOST for our shitty connections.
The TRUE idea of Net Neutrality (aka Preventing Cable Company Fuckery) is that EVERYONE is one the "same lane" and has the same, equal opportunity to post and use content on the Internet. The Internet was founded on this principle of Net Neutrality, but Cable Companies want to increase their already-obscene profits and restrict competition.

http://www.FCC.gov/comments and post a comment on the "14-28" proposal (it's the one with the most comments) saying that for the reasons I listed above that we should have TRUE Net Neutrality with EVERYONE on the same lane (otherwise known as Title II Regulation).
The FCC's website is hosted by a shitty government server on-purpose so that people will get impatient with the loading times and NOT comment on it. It took me like five minutes to post my already pre-written comment on there.
