    And also, people are really spoiled with existing internet speeds. When I joined the Internet it was still relying on telephone modems for much of the connectivity. There’s plenty you can do with that. The Fediverse, right here, is an example - just ordinary text communication.

      I agree. Here at my house, I have fiber, but I only pay for 100 mbps because it’s the absolute cheapest plan I can possibly get. And if they offered something cheaper, and possibly even slower, I would be willing to accept that. Say 50 would be perfectly fine for me.

      Now, admittedly, I wouldn’t want to go much under 50, but 40 and 50 is a perfectly serviceable connection.
