There's plenty more to life than money: there's a wedding I'm planning, a wife I'm going to support while she goes to school, pets that I take care of, artistic organizations I support, etc.

Giving up on all of my hobbies that require internet, and having my fiancee to the same, is not practical. Paying more for internet is not practical. This is not an unreasonable position to take, nor does it represent some tragic moral failure on my part.

In any case, it's a thought experiment that's not worth defending myself further, because there are no alternatives to Comcast where I live.
