So the idea is to get inferior service up to par with Netflix, so that instead of Netflix or inferior service which is competitive on cost, we have a choice between Netflix and other Netflix? How is there more of a market in the second case than in the first? What about consumers who don't want Netflix' extra quality, and are happy paying much less for an inferior service?

one has a barrier, the other case does not have one - how hard is it to grasp that context? Do you think that arbitrary market barriers are good for consumers in general?

In the case without a barrier, whoever wants to use the inferior service still can, but while in the "barrier" case one service is subsidized by another business which just happens to be it's parent company... thus not creating a fair market between the competitors.

That it itself will bring the prices up, and you will have to pay more for the same comparing to the situation where you had "net neutrality" in place, this type of behaviour is in effect abusing the monopoly market position to make more money.
