Note clearly...

"the passage and repeal of the rules had no meaningful impact on
broadband investment."

"there were no impacts on telecommunication industry investment from
the net neutrality policy changes. Neither the 2010 or 2015 US net
neutrality rule changes had any causal impact on telecommunications
investment.”


Thus both those "lawmaking" activities and "laws" did nothing
but self justify government's own continued existance at your
expense ($, rights, markets, freedom, ...), and made criminals
of everyone else before during and after.


The other problem is that most people have access to
only one provider, maybe two or three if they're lucky,
but all of them suck, and are gigacorps or teragovs that
only care about $ and power.

The final problem is that you're relying on those who
do not have your interests to do things for you, there
is serious conflict and stupidity there.

Start laying your own P2P fibre.
It's easy, inexpensive, private, redundant, etc.
