I've got a fiber optic connection and I can easily run through my allotted bandwidth in a week. Even a pathetic 20Mbps connection is more than this backwards country can handle. I don't even have NetFlix.

Sounds a bit like Australia.
Back in the mid 1990s they introduced cable modems, with a speed of 10Mbps (I think), which WAS fast then. Catch is there was a ridiculous 100MB download limit, with excessive penalty rates after that. The net overall was a lot slower back then but it was still easy to go through the download limit in less than a day.
Someone likened it to driving a Ferrari on a racetrack, but you ran out of fuel 10 seconds later at the first turn.
