Pretty nice to be able to download a modern game in a few minutes instead of a few hours.

- Retric 2y agoSure, and that’s worth spending how much per month? I mean if I was forced to sit and stare at a download screen then sure it’d be worth it to me. However even at 2+Gigabit I’m not going to sit and stare about the download screen so it’s kind of meaningless how long it takes. I’ve got plenty of other stuff to do for a while.
- happymellon 2y agoI pay £25 for 500Mbs, which I find reasonable.
- Retric 2y agoWhich just barely takes God Of War Ragnarok under an hour, but DCS World is over 2 hours. And game keep growing…
- happymellon 2y agoOh sorry. I meant a reasonable price. All these folks talking about >$100 for slower speeds is insane in 2025. I could get ~1Gbs for £35. I don't know what I would do if I was forced to go back to BT, so I can relate.
- ghaff 2y agoDownload/upload speed seems like a fairly weak argument for more bandwidth past a certain, fairly low, point. These days, it seems like it's more around a large household doing simultaneous 4K streaming where they're running into limits.
- vel0city 2y agoWhat common streaming services even offer 4K streams that are more than say 30Mbit a stream? Most Blu-Rays are what, ~40Mbit? A 1Gb internet package would let you have a dozen 40Mbit streams (480Mb) and still have another several hundred megabits for gaming, http traffic, etc.
