Net Neutrality being repealed is a symptom of the telecoms owning all the infrastructure.
I'm not sure how things work in the UK, but if you guys have publicly-owned/municipal internet infrastructure, then I wouldn't worry about Net Neutrality.
If your infrastructure is owned by a few big companies like in the US, then my recommendation would be to start fighting for public control.
As far as helping people in the US...Net Neutrality is a loaded term now. We need to stop convincing people why Net Neutrality is a good idea and start convincing them why municipal broadband is a good idea. Maybe approach it from that angle.
