This is a serious problem for anyone who doesn't live in a city, and the ISPs as well are oblivious to the issue. Take Google, whose Gigabit Internet initiative (though it has good intentions) boosts bandwidth in (so far selected) cities, while completely ignoring rural users. Every time there is a jump in bandwidth availability (in cities), webmasters and media developers immediately fill that bandwidth with junk. First we had email, then email with embedded HTML, then commercial (90% text) HTML, then HTML with JavaScript, then text replaced by video clips (software manual? Just watch our youtube videos!), and on and on. For people who don't live in a city, very such "advance" makes it take longer to read an article, shop online, or interact with health care or government. It's infuriating, and there seems to be no way to curb the trend.
