No, not particularly. A lot of the world is on ADSL or worse; I now have 200Mb/s symmetric fiber which is fantastic, but until recently I could only get 6Mb/s download, 0.5Mb/sec upload. Half of all British people can get at most 1Mb/s upload. That's not good enough to give decent performance. In particular, an iPhone photo is about 2MB, and that's half a minute (or 15 seconds) to download (for this use case). It's not fast enough to stream most video, for example. Making it easier would have massive infrastructure requirements.
