So basically app developers should build low bandwidth apps - that would be a win for high bandwidth users too. Everything transfers massive amounts of data exhausting even gigabit fibre fast.

There anre also environments that are high-speed but high-cost or capped gb/month. I like how I can tell an iPhone that a wifi AP is a “low bandwidth” one so it holds off on many tasks. But you can screw yourself over if you tether a computer, even a Mac.
