Maybe. 

Like homebiscuit said, I'm probably not as well-versed in all of this stuff. 

I just don't trust these companies that are pretending to look out for our best interest.

 I get that, but o one hand you have what seemed to be every site on the internet big and small saying rally against this repeal, and on the other hand you have 4 companies who are effective monopolies in most regions, paying millions lobbying for the repeal.

Does netflix, amazon, google, duvalpride or whoever else care about your best interest?  More than likely not, but what they do care is having as many eyes on their sites as possible, using their services, and clearly they believe killing net neutrality will effect how many people will use or have proper access to their services.

The big four service providers didnt dump millions into lobbying so they can create competition against themselves.
