The articles I looked at - which wasn't all of them - seemed to be more concerned with charges billed for use above some alloted bandwidth, rather than with any limiting of connections.

In the US there's been lots of contention over whether providers can legally "charge extra" for high bandwidth users, and/or whether they have a right to control how much an individual can download (most excess use is downloading movies?); but so far as I've seen there's been no official ruling here about what's legal and what isn't.

The imposing of "extra charges" in the US appears to have been implemented by a number of download servers and/or internet providers; but any "permission to do so" is only based on "if you're making lots of money you're a friend of the Party and we won't let them bother you," so it is to some degree sort of "political."

The articles linked are NOT ABOUT THE POLITICS. They appear only to report service quality and charges for the services used, so far as I can tell.
