This article brought to mind a different but related scenario. I live on an island that was recently affected by a typhoon. Internet speeds are usually pretty good, but in the aftermath of the storm cable internet has been up-and-down depending on the day, and the cell towers are very spotty. I've found that most modern apps depend on a high-speed connection, and give a very poor experience otherwise. Of course this seems obvious in hindsight, but it's a different experience living through it.
