I really need to register bandwidthprersevationsociety or something a bit shorter. I was initially going to say that developing nations are going to be left behind but that's not right, a lot of them have very good high-speed net access. Australia on the other hand - a lot of places are going to have a maximum of 25 mbit / 1 mbit for a long time due to the geniuses running our government.
I'm on what is effectively 8/1 and I'm starting to struggle with the size of Windows Updates (8->8.1 failed multiple times resulting in a repeated 2GB download), XBox One games (20-40GB), streaming and RDP/Citrix/VPN for working from home.

OneDrive! It doesn't even implement any kind of LAN Sync - you'd think MS would have bolted on some of the newer SMB stuff like HomeGroup (which is discovery+SMB over IPv6 AFAICT)

Ubisoft managed to lock the whole of Australia out of one if its recent betas with this mentality.

- niels_olson 11y agoI like it. Maybe a tie in with slow food?
- voltagex_ 11y agoWell we certainly have slow internet here. It'd be a good joke/political site to do a "slow internet movement" in the style of the "slow food movement"
