Bandwidth isn't the issue as much as latency. Those collapsible sections where the content isn't loaded just mean I have to wait 10 times for 20s while trying to read an article, rather than once for 25s upfront.
- spullara 10y agoLatency is almost always the killer on mobile (hell, on desktop too) rather than bandwidth for web pages.
- jacalata 10y agoWikipedia has a large audience in areas where bandwidth is very much an issue.
- robocat 10y agoLooking at a probably large page (Intel), html content for everything before references is about 250k, which becomes say 50k compressed. Maybe for first world connections, that could be speculatively preloaded. IP address to lookup country is enough to guess?
