If you have to use an internet provider that does not provide reasonably direct access to the internet, you should tunnel your traffic through the service that does (e.g. a VPN).

The idea that all internet sites have to compensate for the low quality of the last mile of some users simply does not make sense. If a site accepts sensitive input from the users than sure, it needs an authenticated and encrypted connection; but if it serves static content, it may hold the internet infrastructure and the receivers responsible for the correct delivery.
