They will no will no longer throttle mobile internet to unusable speeds after data allowances are exhausted, so it is kind of a “minimum universal connection” via mobile.

It’s enough for email, chats, banking and other essentials.
I would say it’s not enough to stream a movie, which seems fair to me if you spent all the data you have for the period.
The home page of one of the largest banks by asset size https://www.shinhan.com/index.jsp would transfer 3.80MB up and 7.93MB down in a span of just under 4 minutes to fully load lol
That’s crazy. But I assume most people would use an app, which usually has a low amount of traffic.
400kbps would be slow as hell, for all of those use cases. Video would be unusable, but other stuff would still be insanely slow with all the bloat in modern websites and tracking crap in apps.
I did those things just fine on my first internet connection, which was 14.4k.
When I upgraded to 54k, it was blazingly fast.
Remember we are not talking about modern comfort, we are talking a connection that is out of data. It’s okay to be annoyed.
Use an ad-blocker and suddenly it is an ok speed.
I lived for years limited to similar speeds, you are hilariously wrong.
That’s 240p YouTube, most of the time. Sometimes it won’t load 240. Most downloads through a browser will fail outright. You can download something, have that download saturate your entire internet and knock you offline. Anything autoplaying is aids. If someone messages you a link with a thumbnail you’ve just been DoSd, not DDoS because it only takes one person to kick you offline.
If you’re out of data, don’t stream video.
If you’re out of data, don’t download big files.
If you’re out of data, don’t use websites with a lot of data (such as autoplaying videos), without a plugin or something to minimize it.
If your chat can break your entire 400 k connection just by sending you a link, you should probably look at using some other software. Although of course that’s hard, if your friend aren’t willing to follow.
It would be horridly slow for all those things (well maybe not text-only chats)
Worked fine for me, when my connection was slower that that.
