All you'd end up with is a letter in the mail saying things are changing, whether or not you read it and have alternative options is an entirely different matter.
I'm pretty sure if they decide to change their terms part of the letter stating so gives you an out. As SAM has stated though, the law was dictating these rules before, likely nothing in the contracts.
Again, nothing in the contract has to currently state word 1 about net-neutrality. The ability to change their terms at will as was existing in the contract you may have signed allows them to change it at will for any laws that may affect them.
IE, you agreed to these terms at the contract, and we may have a clause that says you can't back out of the contract except for in these <outlined events>.

Those contracts are "always" written the opposite - stating that if they change, you are still stuck.

@scottalanmiller I've never actually gotten one, that I can remember anyway, from an ISP. I'm more or less thinking of Credit Cards that give you an out if they change your contract.

Credit cards are governed by finance rules that are very different from ISPs.

"While FCC Chairman Ajit Pai is proposing to keep some of the commission's existing disclosure rules and to impose some new disclosure requirements, ISPs won't have to tell consumers exactly what everything will cost when they sign up for service."

Obviously those rules were making it harder to bring in more competition. It's in the customers best interests to not know how much they are paying. That guy is a crazy zealot.

Of course he is. He was a lawyer for Verizon.

Are these crowds willing to cancel their Internet to further support the net neutrality protest?

That's like asking if the people of Flint will be willing to go thirsty rather than drink tainted water.
