Net Neutrality

With the imminent demise of net neutrality assured. What can we do? Will there be ISP's that start up that will support it? I am ready to drop my ISP over this. Of course I will lose my internet but I just don't think I can pay money to a company that is going to block websites, slow down, or stop me from watching videos amongst other things.

But I'm concerned that this will give them the power to block sites that they disapprove. They could at least slow things down a lot. The whole issue seems, to me, to be about access. Some people want to control what people see.
