It is become a diverse web of many network and hosts tightly connected to each other. Due to current net neutrality laws, these networks can send and receive data to each other free from additional costs. Without net neutrality sending and receiving data will not longer be free. Network operators will regulate traffic more closely to maximize profit rather providing reliable service. While net neutrality can cause some problems for content and end-user, but the benefits outweighs the problems. Net neutrality benefits new developers opportunity to share their idea to the world without financially destroying them. If the net neutrality is abolish broadband providers benefits while bring harm to content providers and change how the internet works.

FCC recently proposed a new rule that would reverse the 2015 classification of ISP’s back to lightly-regulated information services.
Officially known as the Open Internet Order, the law was founded on protecting consumers from ISPs blocking and throttling their speeds. When it was introduced, the FCC said they received more than four million letters from supporters of net neutrality.

This is why millions of people started supporting net neutrality in the first
