I wonder if that might be because wired is still somewhat of a luxury compared to most that the ISP's aren't held back by the service they offer since there are so few utilizing the bandwidth.
- grecy 6y agoI take it you've never been to Cape Town? It's much, MUCH more developed than you're thinking. Hundreds of thousands of people in a very beautiful and modern city.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoWhen I went to Cape Town the internet was awful. Super slow (at least for US/EU sites) and with very restrictive data caps (IIRC, 10GB per month). That was circa 2008 so perhaps things are better now
- MeinBlutIstBlau 6y ago10GB a month? Jeez what were you doing? Streaming videos all day!?
- the_only_law 6y agoIs that considered a lot, especially for home internet? I was busting 3-5x that a couple years ago on mobile data alone.
- grecy 6y ago2008 was 12 years ago, not a couple. A lot has changed in 12 years
- MeinBlutIstBlau 6y agoI was mostly joking but 10GB even in 2008 still isn't a lot. 300gb hard drives were pretty common. Although I bet you could've got a lot more out of that 10GB than you can now what with the absurd amount of ads and excessive bloat on websites nowadays.
