2 Mbits means 900 Mbytes per hour -- enough for youtube streams in 480p (and more often than not, in 720p, without pauses to buffer), and ok if software distributions are downloaded (XUbuntu 14.04 was 900 Mb, iirc); music takes a fraction of the downstream capability...
Shortly, people used to 30 MBit downlinks might have forgotten how little most of our (modern-day) media requires -- often a megabit, or two per second :)
- ksec 12y agoI am on a 4Mbps ADSL line, I would have liked a little more like 10Mbps. But Stability and Ping time matters A LOT more for an internet connection. The only real downside is uploading speed. Which meant i dont to enjoy Google Drive or DropBox as much. Hopefully when G.Fast arrive next year, those who are still relying on copper will get a very decent upgrade.
