Don't want to blame too much, but it seems like your internet got stuck in the past. I have 10gbits. I used to have 1gbits for a long time before. 100mbits is not that much these days. Switzerland is talking about a government mandated minimum speed of 80mbits in 2024. That's a 7 hour download on minimum speed for an unusually large game. Switzerland is not alone in this regard. That could be a view of privilege, but average internet speeds are still progressing forward fast.
- SergeAx 3y agoI beleive it is your internet is a bit in a future. Good for you, but not a reason to blame others. See https://www.fastmetrics.com/internet-connection-speed-map-usa.php#average-speeds-usa https://www.fastmetrics.com/internet-connection-speed-map-us... , for example. 30-50 Mbps was median in 2020, even with COVID-induced improvements I doubt things became significantly better today.
- MMAesawy 3y agoIt is an extremely privileged view. In my home country of Egypt, a population of 100 million lives on an average home internet speed of 30mbps with about 300gb monthly data cap, in 2023. I'm sure most of the world is similar.
- ProtoAES256 3y agoYou're correct about the internet stucked the past, but for a lot of places in the world even with a lot of money you won't get fast speeds! My hometown is only getting 100/25Mbits max after the previous max 30/5Mbits 2 years ago! It's not like we don't have the money, I bought a 10900k and 2080 super for my brother back then, it's just that the speed is unavailable. A "git gud" simply don't do that justice.
