Network neutrality (equivalently "net neutrality", "Internet neutrality" or "NN") refers to a principle that is applied to residential broadband networks, and potentially to all networks. Precise definitions vary, but a broadband network free of restrictions on the kinds of equipment that may be attached and the modes of communication allowed, and where communication was not unreasonably degraded by other communication streams would be considered neutral by most advocates.

We should be concerned about Net Neutrality because companies, such as Comcast and AT&T, are planning on making it so that if the owners and operators of websites want to make their websites even faster, they have to pay the Internet Providers a huge sum of money. But the only way for consumers to get access to these faster versions of the websites is to pay a lot more money for these sites. By doing this, it breaks Net Neutrality and makes it so that not everyone is equal on the internet.
