US Senate rejected Net Neutrality

Net Neutrality has been rejected by a US Senate panel. Narrowly, after being tied at 11 to 11 said CNet, but finally rejected. A bunch of people ― such as Tim Berners-Lee who wrote his seventh post on his blog to argue on the issue ― expected the Senate to counter the steady no of the Congress.
So without regulations, broadband access providers could offer different size of bandwidth, some of them like Comcast have already started to deploy download booster and some, like AT&T, are considering doing so.
This situation could indirectly give a strong advantage to some heavy consuming bandwidth software companies. In short, BitTorrent.
“The new version is currently trialling as a collaboration between Bram, NTL and a company called Cachelogic here in Britain, reported the BBC. Cachelogic are offering a series of data stores strategically placed around the Internet which the new BitTorrent system talks to. Whenever they see a commercially approved BitTorrent, they make a copy of the data.”
“The next time someone on the Internet requests that data, it comes not from the original sender but from the Cachelogic store, only this time massively accelerated.”
What will you do in this situation?
