Granted, you're trying to test to a server 450 miles away.

I live in the country. I must pay to check out books from the library in town. Is this a rights violation? If internet connections and libraries really are rights we should all protest until the government agrees to pay for them for everyone. If we're entitled to them we shouldn't have to pay for them.
I'm entitled to access to clean water and food, but I still have to pay for them

Yes, you are entitled to be allowed to access water and food just like anything else. People shouldn't stop you from buying food or water. If some generous guy was handing out free water people shouldn't stop you from getting that either. The question is: Are you entitled to the water or food itself? Should you just be able to have it?

I don't think that making every convenience of modern life a "right" is the way to go (since it implies other people's duty to provide it). But I don't want to discuss it anyway.

People seem to be showing up with much better internet speeds this time around!

Mine:

I could've upgraded yesterday to 15 Mbps for $5 dollars more, but I decided that I didn't actually need more speed. At 10 Mbps, I get diminishing returns anyway (few servers can deliver stuff faster than my connection; and I don't torrent enough for it to be a real gain).

I still don't understand why companies are pushing high speeds, then complain about bandwidth usage and institute caps.

It will be great when we are able to download youtube clips at a blazing 100Mbps, but not have the bandwidth allotment to watch anything over 360p.
