Anyone think now that they'll try to gerimander what a "Legal content provider" is? And some tech has to have prioritization...so does this impact QoS for voice and video traffic?

Oh I know. They can.

I was paying 7.99 per mb of download speed, and 53.99 (!!!!!) per mb of upload speed via centurylink

I now pay .10 per mb of upload and .10 per mb of download through an electric co-op.

So I dont want to hear they cant build infrastructure. Cant and wont are two different things.
If that shitty company is part of RUS or other funding programs, that's how they are able to deploy ftth. I work for one of those small shitty isp's that recently finished a ftth rollout in the past few years. It doesn't entirely all come out of the company piggy bank. There are a number of programs geared to make that kind of thing happen.

ISPs cry that bandwidth is expensive and someone (content providers, but more likely customers) should pay for all the bandwidth used by Netflix, Hulu, etc.

ISPs, most notably Comcast, contribute millions to campaign funds to buy votes instead of, you know, updating their shit that's put to shame by other countries.

Google Fiber happens.

TWC starts offering Fiber customers 100mbps service at the same cost as their normal shitty service (that I'm pretty sure didn't even exist a couple years ago) and now has 50mbps and 100mbps available to just about anyone.

AT&T comes out with gigabit service.

tl;dr -- Competition happened.

Pakistan has a better network infrastructure than most of the US...

They have fiber to most villages and into almost all the homes so they can surf their gay male porn.

What scares me the most about this is the fact it sets precedent to do more unpopular things in the future. Am I wrong in assuming it will be easier to move forward regulating other aspects of the internet?

I was on the phone with one of TWC's "advanced" technical support, and his quote was "you have the basic package, which in a google zone is anything but basic". Then told a story about how people on the coasts were pissing and moaning about TWC not offering (or giving as they are doing in KC) 100 Mbps to them and only "those hayseeds in flyover country" could get it.

People cheering this are fools who can't be bothered to learn from history.
