The problem isn't the speed, it's the ridiculous bandwidth caps imposed by ISPs. Here in Canada a fairly simple 10GB data plan runs about $75/month, if a restaurant is offering me a discount and requires their 250MB app to get it, that discount has effectively cost me $2.
- happyopossum 4y agoThat was the case several years ago, but Telus, Rogers, etc all have unlimited plans for that price now...
- FractalParadigm 4y agoI have a really hard time calling those plans "unlimited" when it becomes unusably slow after your full-speed allotment. I hope the waiter told you about their app discount before you ordered, because best-case scenario that 250MB app is going to take a little over an hour to download at the 512kbps they allow.
- pyr0hu 4y agoYeah, I haven't considered data caps, as here in Hungary, unlimited data is around 27eur/mo, but even capped is not that expensive (just an example: 10GB is 10eur, 50gb is 20 eur)
