  Because I already have them and don’t need to download them again. 500mb on a mediocre day is like 2 hours.

  If you mean online games, I tend not to because they often work poorly. For some strange, totally inexplicable reason that definitely has nothing to do with my terrible internet.

      My mom told me she’s on 25 Mbps the other day. Have no idea how she survives.

        Bro 25 would be sick. Most of my days I struggle to hit 2.

        Instant gratification has rotted y’all’s brains. A stable 25 down is not just survivable but cromulent. I’m on 100 down 40 up and can’t imagine how having a gigabit connection would make my experience better when the bottlenecks are generally upstream of the ISP.

        You can play online games and use discord on that.

        Lived in a place that advertised 100Mbps speeds. Bullshit. It had 25Mbps on a good day. Lets not talk about the bad days.

        Bit or byte, those are completely different experiences.

        We moved this week, so we had to swap our internet contract, because if we moved with the type of connection we had, we’d only get 16Mbits/s. With our current one, we get I think 500Mbit/s or about 60MByte/s

    How much do you pay? Is it DSL?

      I have about the same speeds. I’m paying $65/mo, it’s 5G, and it’s better than every other option around.

        Thats a bummer, $65 is gig speed around me.
