I know I have given plenty of examples every time I hear those speaking against it and find they do not really understand it's impact to them directly or indirectly. Even those here that are suppose to be webmasters.
To much talk in generalities lead to miscommunication and misunderstanding of the facts and that bad/poor information spreads. It's a easy target for the large ISP's to attack and subdue.
In simple terms without details, you should just say that if you sell content that requires broadband, you could be limited against your major (richer) competitors as newer, more demanding bandwidth is required in future formats.
They do not want to clip the rate you now enjoy is correct when they say that.
This is about the future and future formats that compete with cable.
(not limited to) 4K, 8K + VR and other virtual formats.

LOL, I'm old too.
The interesting thing is when I talk to my friends who are my age, about 90% of them either haven't heard of net neutrality or they don't know what it is or care. Of those that have heard of it, most of them aren't sure why it is a big deal.
I typically ask people if they want their phone data or internet access to start being like cable. You pay one price for general stuff. If you want access to other sites, you have to pay an additional fee. Want to play games online, another fee and so on. Another issue is that at least 30% of the people in this country only have one ISP to choose from so if that ISP started charging more/throttling etc, they can't even switch.
