Those kinds of sites haven't gotten slow for me at all, and I'm only on 8Mbps broadband. Thanks for bringing it to everyone's attention though, hopefully it'll get fixed.
Broadband penetration in the US was at 20% in 2007. 8Mbps is positively luxurious. (When I lived in Ohio I was at 3Mbps advertised, which of course translates to significantly less.)
Now I'm on a shared satellite link which is something like 8Mbps for 30 users.
