And yet, developers still build sites that load 500kb of JS just to display 5kb of text.
We don’t need faster speeds, we need more reasonable and thoughtful site design. Most sites are ridiculously overengineered, and don’t need a lot of what has been stuffed into them.
You know we use the internet to transfer way more than most websites right?

My ISP used to advertise about fiber because their backend is fiber but residential connections are coax with DOCSIS whatever. One of the downsides is assymetric up/download speeds. Upload gets reduced to favour download and you get these whack ratios.
This is amusing because practically every backend is fiber. You need it for speeds above 10Gbps, and all ISPs will have at least 40Gbps or 100Gbps connections in their data centers, sometimes even faster (QSFP can do up to 400Gbps).

Yes however bloated websites slow traffic for everyone.

over 1,120 miles (1,802 kilometers).
This is the most American thing ever. Taking an official number (1,808km), converting it to customary units (1,123mi) rounding it (1,120mi) then converting it back again with rounding error.
I also have to laugh when someone takes a very rough estimate (around a hundred miles) and converts it to metric with 4 significant figures (160.9 km). Even 160 is too precise when talking about a distance of 80-120 miles. If the original number has 1 sigfig, the conversion should too, even if that feels way off.

I swear I've bought stuff at Costco before that was 1.3608kg.

They are more under engineered because of cost cutting and over designed by management because of ignorance and hubris. Developer:
“oh yeah this feature will take me a week to implement another week to make it performant and another week to pass QA” Manager: “Oh hell no just slap on this library into the project that I saw getting recommended on LonkedOn”Here is a lightning fast website that gets the proper amount of engineering time because the goals of management and that of the development team align perfectly.

A slow Internet is good for you.. You dontt have to worry about losing hair, eyes going blind and going crazy (too fast)
