Reminds me of my grandma when she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She
refused to wait for anything. She habitually cut in lines and bitched
about being on hold. "I don't have much time left, I can't be bothered
to wait in lines". What really made her mad was when her Apple password
had to be changed and needed to have a capital letter and number.
Those extra keystrokes were a real drag.

It's all marketing BS that the general public buys into, every -
single - time. I would bet that 99% of the population doesn't need
more than a 5Mbps or 10Mbps connection, at most.

I think we should compare amperage of average electrical services

100 meg cable is available in my town, so people could raise the
average speed test result by simply buying more speed. Generally if
we offer multiple packages, then the overwhelming majority of people
buy the cheapest one; so maybe the US is really above average at
being cheap. We should focus on what we're good at and stop envying
our neighbors' phalli mbps.
</sarcasm>
The social and economic advantages of having internet service are
realized with 1 or 2 mbps. After that it's all entertainment, so why
do we stress over it?
