Cry me a frickin' river. The internet's not a right, it's a privilege 
afforded with money. If you can't or won't pay up for a decent 
connection, tough.. you get left behind. That's how computing always works.

I'm convinced your argument for consideration really boils down to this: 
"I think I'm the only right one, so it's my way or the highway." And you 
know what? That's not your decision to make.
