> If you think browsing on a 56k connection is bad, try a 16k connection from Ethiopia! No need to travel that far. During my time in my previous apartment I had two options for connecting: -The landlord's mother's old router behind a thick wall (400kbps at best, 300-400ms latency with 10-30% packet loss). -A "soapbar" modem we got along with my SO's mobile plan. 14GB a month, slowing down to a trickle of 16-32kbps when used up. Things that worked on such a connection: -Google -Google Meet -Facebook Messenger -Hacker News The rest of the web would often break or not load at all.
