    I have 75 mbps and it’s plenty enough except maybe for that one time once in a while where I’m downloading a game on Steam and would like it a little quicker. I see no point of paying three times what I’m paying right now per month to get 300 mbps. Even if it’s available, even if I can afford it. I’d need to download a whole bunch of stuff at the same time to ever make use of that kind of bandwidth.

    I can tell some ISPs are blatantly preying on ignorant people, selling them 300 mbps connections at a premium while all they do is google stuff, check their e-mails and browse their social media. They’ll never use more than a tenth of what they’re paying for, the rest is just wasted money. But they don’t know that.

    Average internet speeds in a country can be a very misleading stat as a result.

    Edit: Looks like two people don’t like that they’ve realized they’re overpaying for their internet.
