…okay, now I'm a little worried. I had faith that Anonymous would effortlessly stonewall the anti-Net Neutrality motion just like they did to SOPA and PIPA, but if the FCC is going to just flat-out ignore them…

Okay, it may be time to doxx the shit out of Pajt.
Currently the internet is regulated as a title 2. Title 2 gives the FCC enough authority for net neutrality to be enforced. Pai has claimed to support net neutrality but his plan will reclassify it to something else that the FCC doesn't have enough authority over to regulate. So yes ISPs are regulated under title 2, and in my opinion they should be, but that is what will change.
One criticism of their being under title 2 is it imposes many constraints on an ISP that don't make sense. Under Tom Wheeler the FCC used forbearance on (aka will not enforce) parts of title 2 unrelated to providing internet and net neutrality which, without new legislation from congress, is the surest legal foundation for neutrality.
We were worried about net neutrality with Wheeler as well, but he changed his mind when historically high (for the FCC) amounts of citizen letters were sent on the topic.
