If it takes two minutes to load a 100kb page, does it take twenty minutes to watch a 1MB video? Over three hours to watch a 10MB video?

- gwern 11y agoProbably not. Downloading the video is going to depend more on throughput than on latency. The initial connection & page load, as it hits all the domains and resources, is going to be much slower because it relies more on latency and roundtrips.
- Brakenshire 11y agoThe article says that the page would have taken 20 minutes to load under previous circumstances.
