Its not really as bad as this article claims.
- In my city (not that large, about 200k residents), i have access to 16-50Mbit DSL connections or cable connections of up to 150 MBit/s (uncapped). Its the same in many other bigger cities
- i hardly know anyone who cannot get some type of broadband. My mom lives in a VERY rural area (one neighbour and then a half a mile of NOTHING) and she still gets 3Mbits DSL, not great but ok.
- the situation in the US is even worse, still alot of people on dialup in rural areas
- traffic caps are a step backwards i agree, but its just one ISP doing this right now and there are many other countries where this is common practice as well
