Net Neutrality is a ruse: providers "promise" to maintain an SLA against their competitors when they still own the last mile, and the service, and the core network. In practice, SLAs are weak sauce.

The more viable competitive model to me would be to a mandatory Open Access Network.

1. Spinoff of existing Big telcos own the core physical fibre or RF infrastructure

2. Various network providers own and operate active equipment & billing on the network - no one owns the last mile

3. Various service providers provide content & applications on the network.

4. No company performing one role can compete in another role, so as to avoid monopoly

This of course will never happen in the USA because the inmates are running the asylum.

So we'll have to rely on countries like Sweden to prove it out:
