wdym even a shitty 50mbps connection is enough to watch stuff at 1080p
heck, even 3g/4g with it's unusable 10-15mbps is still good enough yo stream video at a decent quality
What a world it would be if everyone had minimum 50mbps internet. "Good" rural internet is 1mbps for a lot of peeps, and a whole lot more people have a whole lot lower speeds.
Some people still live is DSL land, even in the US.
I wasnt able to upgrade to fiber internet until about 2017
They cover over 99% of my city with fiber and I can walk to city hall from my house. Still doesn't cover my street.
Welcome to Europe, where we get 1gbps fiber at reasonable prices. Here in Denmark it is available at ~$30/month for example. Because the same fiber infrastructure is accessible by many different ISPs to offer to consumers.
I wasn't able to upgrade until last year. And there are still places around me that don't have fiber
My doctor says I need more fiber.....
.........................I feel like anyone who grew up with 56k gets legal right to strangle you for these personal attacks against our childhood.
but it's not 90s anymore. it's hard to even find a slower connection than 100-300mbps nowadays.
even in a remote village with nothing but fields in kilometers i got an offer with 100mbps as minimum speed
shitty would be less than 10mbps, perhaps you are from places where the internet isn't comically expensive.
10mbps is not even an option anymore tho for most isps.
50 is the lowest that's still exists, with most isps offering 100 or 300 as the cheapest option
