Net neutrality doesn't really matter (recap of what i read)

I was talking to a professor the other day and they told me how many of the classes at UF are moving towards Web video because it makes sense (saves money, distance learning). But one complaint she had was the fact that students still have bandwidth issues from home. Basically she told me that we need to work harder to make home internet faster so that video experience would not be so crappy. So I told her, one of the reasons home internet usage is so darn slow is because ISP would rather use the available bandwidth capabilities of coxial cable for broadcasting a ton of crap channels that we're not going to watch than use if for sending internet traffic. I did some Wikipedia research (LOL, I love wiki) and I realized that if ISPs use all of the bandwidth spectrum for IP traffic, I think they would get a throughput of either 480 MB or probably even more (but that would have to be shared by individual homes of course). Please don't quote me on that number, I'm pretty sure it's wrong. But the moral of the story is simple, cable providers/ISPs are content providers. So if they dedicate the majority of their bandwidth to TV channels, they will always have control over that quality of service. So in other words, cable companies can always make sure that its video-on-demand service is always better than Netflix because it controls how it sends that data to home users, its already uneven to start with. Cable providers have no motivation to make the Internet faster if they realize that companies like Google and Netflix will be making all of the money. Bottom line, it's not a technology issue, it's an economics issue, and that's exactly what I told her. Google is trying to bypass ISPs by providing user with direct fiber connections 1Gbps to their home. We have had fiber technology for the longest and gigabit speeds are possible for cheap, but cable providers (hence ISPs) have no motivation to increase speed because that can effectively put them out of business. It's not about giving customers choices through competition, it's about locking down customers, and making as much profit as possible, it's about monopolies, and changing regulations, and most importantly, it's about survival. Companies have to survive, if they don't people lose jobs, but how far are you willing to go to survive? I guess it helps that companies do not have souls hence they don't have to worry about sleeping at night. It is all business afterall.
