With the advent of 5G home and wireless services, the “net neutrality” argument falls down like a house of cards. If one internet provider does something stupid, like block certain websites, consumers will simply switch providers.

Yep, and in the next few years we should have Internet available from LEO satellites with latency comparable to hard wired.
Competition works. Every time. As soon as the USG starts picking winners you get Amazon, Facebook, and Google.
What will happen is that FB, Google, and Amazon will simply buy up preferred space on all internet lines. Their service will be faster. And will work no matter what your load is. SO you will not have a choice. All the telecoms will sell part of their band width. You will be left with a small amount. The cable nets do this now. Comcast only gives you a about one tenth of the band width. The rest is held in reserve for your cable and for Comcast itself.
