If all you're doing is moving text around then faster internet isn't going to help any. Unless you're streaming video or doing a few other high bandwidth activities then even really shitty broadband is going to service your needs just fine.
- raarts 12y agoNobody is only moving text around, occasionally (how often depends on the type of work) you need to move a lot of data. In that case a low speed connection stops you in your tracks.
- nitrogen 12y agoBut who just moves text around? Work frequently requires the use of Hangouts, Skype, GoToMeeting, Dropbox, etc. If you have to work through a VPN, the latency added by poor service is a serious drain on productivity.
- wallflower 12y agoTotal aside: If you experience poor Google Hangouts video quality - use wired connections on both ends of the connection.
- Roboprog 12y agoSo you've not had to do a big code pull from source control or something like Maven or the "Go-lang" builder? Being done in a few seconds is much more fun (and productive) than being done in a few minutes.
