Or on like better than 80% of all mobile data connections in the world. But mobile is so niche, right? No need to worry about them.
- jsnk 13y agoAre you sure that 80% of all mobile data connections in the world is like 2g? Mobile speed in developing world isn't actually that bad. http://www.diffusedonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/page-load-speeds-by-country--e1334947743593.png http://www.diffusedonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/pag...
- _getify 13y ago> In Q1 2013, average connection speeds on surveyed mobile network operators ranged from a low of 0.4 Mbps to a high of 8.6 Mbps. Only nine operators demonstrated average connection speeds in the aforementioned broadband category while 64 more operators showed average connection speeds above 1 Mbps. http://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/07/23/akamai-average-internet-speed-up-17-year-over-year-to-finally-pass-3-mbps-while-mobile-data-traffic-doubled/#!t4ZMS http://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/07/23/akamai-average-inte... My 80% number was hyperbole, but I do think the data supports that on world-wide average, mobile connections are drastically lower, and so making assumptions about a file size downloading quickly on fast broadband is ignoring an increasingly important part of the web traffic, which are years behind wired connections in terms of speeds.
