This story on the BBC gives me some hope.

GCHQ is the British central signals surveillance agency. They have a long history of being embroiled in rows about legally and morally questionable activities, the latest being that they were coordinating electronic spying activities with the NSA, related to the NSA's Prism spying programme.

It is good to see that at least some ISPs are taking some legal action, finally, to protect the privacy of our Internet data.
