- supernova87a 6y agoWell, I hope so too! But it's in the intermediate stage when things are scarce that the price matters, or rate-limiting/throttling/etc matters. You go to South Korea, and they would laugh to think that the US has monthly bandwidth limits, or is talking about net neutrality. Speed and pipe size take care of all issues some distant day in the future. Yet here we are, living in the past.

- rweir 6y agoit's already a weird USA-specific question, even in Australia, world leader in rich-country-shitty-internet, it's not an expensive addon.
