You may want to consider those who do not use the Internet much to gauge their interest in the topic. Just a thought.

On your questions, your fourth question assumes that it is something that is important (a better question would be: How do you feel about…?). Also, the last question leads the reader. Of course they feel it should be kept equal, but in what way. Remember that they may not know about net neutrality or the issues behind it, so you have to adjust for that.
