This looks to me like something I never thought would happen; it's one step worse than the usual proceedings of network expansion by "dumb-greedy" suits in charge at ISPs - just lay one cheap channel of copper, don't spend extra on fiber, then dig the lane up again when bandwidth is short and put another channel of cheap copper, then dig up again, and again, instead of just laying down fiber from the start and be done with it for years ahead for one tenth the cost of digging the lane up - but instead, these brilliant suits cut all their costs by just selectively choking the web infront of their customers. What an utterly backwards, bone-headed move.
