We are no longer watching the clock we are watching our router stats!!

I am sure that there are ISP's about who will give you what you want, fast speeds and unlimited downloading of content of whatever form. The only problem is that you probably wouldn't be able to afford the cost of being provided with such a service. You can't expect to buy a new Ferrari and pay the cost of a 20 year old Skoda with no MOT for it.
People have to stop comparing what is available in other parts of the World and what those services cost. You live in the UK and have to take what is being offered here and pay the cost involved. UK ISP's would have to spend billions to provide what you want, billions that they do not have and billions that most people are not prepared to pay their fair share of in higher subscription costs.
