- jrwoodruff 6y agoOops! You're correct. 600k is ridiculous. Honestly, If they just had a steady 5-10mbs -actually- unlimited option, I'd prefer that. Or, if they dropped it down to 2-4mbps instead, that'd be workable I think.
- asidiali 6y agoAgreed, just give me like 2-5mbps and I actually have a chance to get work done. 600kbps is nearly unusable on the modern web.
- ghaff 6y agoMy dad's house had about 1mbps. Yes, it was barely usable. I couldn't really have seriously worked from there. (Very end of a DSL run in rural Maine.) Some people do make do with conventional satellite. I worked with one person who bought a rural home with no broadband or hope of getting it. They had DirectTV and just mostly did without streaming video or other high bandwidth activities. Probably increasingly hard to do though.
- dividuum 6y agoIn Germany, most plans throttle you to 64kbps down/16kbps up once you run out. It hard not to feel ashamed about the state of mobile internet around here.
- radicalriddler 6y agoThank god! I couldn't believe that they were sooking over a 600mbps connection. 600 kbps is a lot lot worse, and worth complaining about.
