Nothing really changed because the rules havent been set in stone. It was reinstated in 2024 and then struck down by the courts with the new administration. Plus, California and other states have their own net neturalality which puts pressure for the rest of the states to continue to abide.
Tbh it was never going to have as big of an effect as many made it out to. Net neutrality is very much a good thing since not enforcing it just fuels monopolies, but many places don't have strict net neutrality rules and the internet is still alive there.
Though, a big thing preventing this are anti monopoly laws - companies won't pay to restrict access to competition because all it would do is get them broken up. So the worst that happens is sometimes preferential treatment when it comes to data limits.
