You pay for a high speed, but it’s only burst speed and not a “minimum guaranteed” rate because you can’t be prioritized over the freeloaders.

My point is simply this. If Net Neutrality is removed then the new rule is "if you want MORE than you'll PAY MORE".

My understanding is removal of NN means free enterprise dominates, which means there will be NEW plans costing MORE if you want MORE.

Imagine that. Let's apply Net Neutrality rules to car sales. I can afford a Kia. I want a Mercedes. Using your 'logic' and that of the government, I should be able to buy a Mercedes for the cost of a Kia, simply because I want more while paying the same price.

We had that kind of logic applied to auto sales before - in East Germany. It resulted in Trabants, because it removed the profit incentive to make and sell better cars. And that is exactly the issue here. Your approach would strip the profit incentive to improve bandwidth. Which is why socialism always stagnates.

Your pimping of socialism reeks and belongs elsewhere, such as a college Marxist bull session. At least those kids have an excuse, they haven't lived in the real world yet. What is your excuse?
