How about you Americans stop bending over for monopolies that make you worry about such trivial things in 2023?

I think this might be less of an issue for HN browsing American nerds (who likely have great Internet connections) and more of an issue for people in developing countries or with poor network infrastructure.

I mean, you can stream netflix in rural Cambodia and not worry about data limits so I'm not so sure. Of course someone will be able to name somewhere this is a concern, but then you should be running browser extensions to manage media loading.

Actually it's the reverse of the above nowadays, many third world countries have cheaper, faster internet than much of the US.

I love the cynicism, but if we’re looking at Median speed, us is still among the best - 11th for broadband, 26th for mobile. Punching below its weight class, for sure, but not exactly worse than developing countries. The only exceptions are Thailand, Hungary, and Romania IMO - props to them!!

I'd just like to politely point out that Hungary is absolutely miles away from being a developing country, as is Romania, and these days Thailand doesn't even count either for the most part.
