Get in the jabs where ya can!

"Canada traditionally beats the U.S. when it comes to broadband penetration, though their carriers (both phone and cable) frequently severely cap or throttle broadband connections."

Severely? Relative to what? Is it like binary?
1 = exists = severe
0 = does not exist = not severe

Another way to interpret this is that not only does Canada have more % of the population on broadband, their ISPs care more about what their Customers DO online. "Throttling technologies" also tell an ISP what kind of traffic its Customers generate/request.
