So, how is this a Network Neutrality violation?

You would put a regulation out there that says a company can NOT offer a lower-priced option that satisfies some set of their customers, and also a higher-priced option that provides "the full Internet" ?

If THAT'S what Net Neutrality means... I'm out.

You're basically saying you don't want innovative, lower-priced offerings that satisfy consumers who buy them, and make money for the companies providing them, thereby funding investment in the network and the offerings -- because they're not what YOU want.

This is like the opposite of free markets. You're sounding exactly like how your opponents portray you... out to cripple innovation with a solution looking for a problem.

After all -- if the consumer WANTS the "full internet", they CAN get it at a competitive price. What is the problem you are trying to solve here, actually?

That's exactly what the DSLR crowd wants.

Every plan must be "Unlimited" / "All You Can Eat" without restriction.
We can't have people making their own choices, that would be unfair to the "power users", who would lose their subsidy. Just another form of tax / creeping socialism.

Fortunately, so far, we can at least choose NOT to subscribe. Eventually, someone will propose that these services are a "right", and "must be free", and then we'll really pay.
