Buried in the holiday season the FCC is voting on repealing Net Neutrality on the 14th of December. 

If you are in America then speak up for your right not to pay for free speech. Say something so that small businesses won’t have to pay to have a chance online and so that millions will not lose their jobs. Say something for the free information's at your fingertips. Speak up for your weird hobbies and those who have nowhere else to turn but online. 
They will not take it all away in one fell swoop. They will "just" have the right to.
And so they will slowly make you pay for more and more.
You, the sites, your rights, everyone will pay.

  What you can do
Verizon Store Protests on December 7
At Verizon stores USA wide, www.verizonprotests.com/ ,  on December 7, one week before the vote, activists will meet at 5 p.m. local time to put pressure on Congress and demand a change. Pai used to work on Verizon’s legal team, so the choice of store is intended to “[shine] light on the corruption” and expose Pai’s conflict of interest. Events are planned across the country, including Indianapolis, New York and San Francisco, but other cities are welcome to organize their own and add it to the list. The site says the protests, www.inverse.com/topic/protests , “will be quick, fun, and 100% legal.”
Washington, D.C. Protest on December 13
On December 13, the day before the vote(www.facebook.com/events/397458… ), a team of organizers called “Defend Net Neutrality” have planned a protest from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a venue as-yet undecided.

As someone who spends a lot of time online, this repealing of net neutrality  is something that really worries me. A large portion of the internet is American, so what will that mean for those of us accessing American run websites from other countries? As someone living in the UK, am I going to have to pay extra to have access to certain areas of the internet? Who gets to choose what is part of your 'internet package'?

I admit, I don't fully understand what's going on here, but if people are going to be forced to pay extra for something that has been free for a long time, it'll just be one more thing widening the ever growing chasm between the have-s and have not-s.
