> You are probably thinking of the first net neutrality rule he proposed, which would have allowed for paid fast lanes
That was the second; the first he got passed did not, but it was struck down by the courts for exceeding the power the FCC had without Title II reclassification. The draft of the replacement might have allowed paid prioritization (it was clearly not intended to, but it was limited because it attempted to stay within the boundaries of what would pass muster without Title II reclassification.) The final replacement order opted for Title reclassification, and was not only stronger than the draft, but stronger in many ways that the 2010 order it replaced.
Wheeler was always on the side of net neutrality, and in fact his actions in favor of it are one of the main reasons the issue became well known.
