A lack of net neutrality wouldn't stop us from reading this article, but it sure might make the load time obnoxious.

Indeed it would. How many would give up on reading the article under such conditions? In the internet, five seconds of delay are enough to make a person lose interest...
Sorry for taking so long to reply bro, and thanks for the comment!

It's a good question, in the age of the short attention span, that five seconds could really change everything.

Right now, ISPs are competing wildly for your business. They're not going to stop you from getting your content and loose you to another provider who won't. That's the Free Market, and it doesn't need regulation. Regulation kills small startups and eliminates competition to the big boys. IPOs are a prime example of how the government is "protecting" us from becoming wealthy, and small companies from expanding by raising capital. The government is not your friend and is not here to help you, unless you've given a few hundred thousand or millions to their campaigns.

How exactly are Verizon and Comcast competing?

Well, I for one use wireless internet from AT&T and Verizon instead of using comcast.
They both provide internet. I chose wireless because the speeds were sufficient but they're portable and I travel a lot.
T-Mobile is now offering free Netflix.
AT&T was (or is) offering free Hulu.
Just like landlines are a thing of the past, once wireless speeds catch up, I think we'll see a similar shift.
But certainly, a better comparison is Comcast to other cable/dsl providers. And they do compete... Google Fiber and Comcast, for instance. Google offers free fiber internet (low speeds). Gets people hooked, and then its easy to upsell them.
