The problem with this is that, according to the current rules, a company can PAY to get 2 or 3 (or 200/300) shares of that pipe. With these proposals, they would remain limited to one, regardless of their business need, because service providers will not be ALLOWED to offer higher levels of service.

No, that is not what the NN legislation is about. You appear to be
under a fundamental misunderstanding.
It does not prevent anyone buying their own bandwidth. It prevents
people buying
other peoples bandwidth.
For example:
Lets say that Website "A" has purcached a nice new T1 connection.
Website "B", a competitor, has also purchased a nice new T1
connection.
I still have my old 64/64 ADSL line and I open up Websites 'A' and 'B'
at the same time.
You might expect the two websites to send me their content at the
same speed, limited by my poor connection. Afterall, both companies
have the same connection to me.
However, under a non-neutral network, company 'A' could pay
my ISP to give priority to it's website so that it will always load faster
than website 'B'. Even tho both websites have an identical connection
to me.
It would even be legal for website 'A' to pay my ISP to block website
'B' completely to remove any possibility of competition.
