This is consistent with my experience in the UK in 2011. The cable internet was terrible, very slow, extremely expensive, and I was living in a "rich" town.

There were several occasions where I resorted to using cell data service in its place. But that was super, super expensive (compared to the USA.)

Basically, I can sum up my experience of the UK as this: "Wow, so this is what a second world country is like. It's a shame, everything costs 3 times as much and is lower quality." Other countries on the continent didn't have it so bad, Germany and the Netherlands, for instance the people were much better off. (Even in the "poor" east german side of Berlin where we lived.)

My very limited experience with the UK was that everything was incredibly expensive, except for beer.
