> If you work for telecoms who support a non-neutral internet, then quit. Go on strike. Work only for companies who support Net Neutrality.

...you'll probably starve to death, though. Even with the immense shortage of technicians, there's also an immense shortage of ISPs that give a damn about Net Neutrality and are willing and/or able to give people jobs. We've foolishly allowed all of the ISPs to merge to the point that most areas are served by one or two ISPs total. And if you're lucky enough to be in a market with two ISPs, one of them is usually not classifiable as "broadband".

Your next best bet would to organize and implement a slowdown rather than quitting. At least then you're not going to starve waiting for something that will never happen... but then again given the state of customer service at most ISPs, it's also not likely to have any kind of noticeable impact - ISPs are already stupendously slow at completing tasks.
