The ISPs have mixed reviews? You mean the millions upon millions they are spending on lobbying is a mistake? Them teaming up to create sites such as http://www.handsoff.org/ were built by some rogue employees of each company?

Because those companies are in the same boat as we are. The regulation directly benefits us by not allowing the telecommunication companies to throttle traffic to our sites or require us to pay entry fees into their network. You keep glossing over the fact that the regulation being proposed benefits every one of us.
