Well, for one thing, internet speed depends on the quality of your connection, which in the case of mobile networks varies wildly. But personally, I’m a sucker for low latency across all of tech (and gaming as well). That’s why I use Safari instead of Chrome, Terminal.app instead of iTerm, C++ instead of Rust sometimes (compile times), and basically anything else instead of Java (startup time), among other preferences. I even prefer reading ebooks on normal screens rather than e-ink displays, simply because I don’t want to wait between pressing “next page” and seeing the page show up. Not surprisingly, then, I really appreciate website snappiness in general, including links that load instantly due to prefetching. I can’t say I appreciate AMP as it exists today, because the quick load comes with a host of UX issues, but I have hope for the future. Take that perspective how you will. I think I’m a bit of an outlier in just how much latency bothers me, but pretty much everyone consciously or subconsciously appreciates when it goes down. Probably including you: the current speed might seem “fast enough” now, but if faster loading becomes the norm and the other issues are dealt with, I bet you’d have a hard time going back.
