Oh hey, you might also want to uninstall your Linux distribution because of binary blobs in the kernel. Of course they are not mandatory, neither they are loaded at all times, but EVIL PROPRIETARY BOLLOCKS.
I think there were rather understandable exceptions to "tainting everything it touches". Like the Runtime Exception, seen here: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gc...
I guess this varies by state largely. In Moscow suburbs, DSL costs 400 rubles (around 10 Euros) per month with 5-10 Mbps at best, asymmetrical, and fiber/cable costs about 500 (about $15) with 40 Mbps speeds, scaling quite nicely. If the infrastructure is not dismantled, but replaced, then the cost/speed ratio is better on dedicated cable.
