The DSL crowd that gets to control faster DSL is the phone company
(thanks FCC, thanks Congress), and they are just as bad with regard to
"server" silliness as the cable company or, sadly, google.  There is
no escape, except by either paying the predatory monopolists or owning
the infrastructure yourself collectively with your fellow victims.
