    The 18 million fake comments the FCC received did not solely oppose net neutrality. The 19-year-old college student cited in the report submitted 7.7 million comments in favor of net neutrality

Not all the comments were anti net neutrality, only the ones created by broadband companies.

In my view, neither the source, nor the legitimacy, nor the quantity of online survey responses provide insight into whether net neutrality is a good idea.

I can believe that service providers would oppose net neutrality because it is bad for business. That doesn't mean it is good for customers. Businesses succeed when customers are satisfied.

Or through regulatory capture. :)

I think Comcast would disagree. They make money when customers have no other choice. I'd bet they probably would also love to repeal net neutrality.
