Net neutrality essentially prevents ISPs from throttling your connection based on the content being accessed (data equality). The corollary is that the repeal of NN principles would allow ISPs to discriminate against certain websites. For example, they could theoretically charge website owners or consumers fees to access content at usable speeds.
