minus-squareLost_My_Mind@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·18 hours agoI don’t need faster internet. If they had a 2mbps connection for $15, I’d be happy. Instead, the slowest is 20mbps, for $70. To watch youtube. Wtf do I need all the extra speed for???

minus-squareLost_My_Mind@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·18 hours agoOk. Forget price. A 2mbps connection does just fine for watching youtube. What is a 50,000mbps connection going to do for me when my internet activity is so minimal?
