Excellent article - well done.
UK's broadband infrastructure is shoddy to say the least.
Unfortunately, that then manifests "punitive" issues on the end-user ( download caps / shared connections at the ISP end - as you rightly pointed out etc... )
I have difficulty in seeing how that situation will change in the foreseeable future.
Starting with "short-term" objectives at the top, only leads to longer term-issues / fragmented infrastructures.
As usual, the (relative) lack of investment / longer-term strategy ( or lack of one ) is arguably the root of all of this.
