That was my only data, not limited because I ran out. I'm saying how trash the speed is and how little it can do.
Thumbnails. They can't always be turned off and depending on what it is it can break everything for a good 30 seconds. Both steam and discord can do this.
The internet in the modern world is just not made to support internet that slow. The reason I even used Reddit and use Lemmy now is other sites took ages to load in the first place, simpler works. Shit I still use bing out of habit because for a very long time it used less bandwidth to load than google, and it was good enough.
edit: for things that actually matter i guess, work app had significant issues and the training videos i bypassed because the 480p wouldnt load.
That changes the "good enough" part a lot.
I know it's trash. But it works. That's great, if you've run out of data and really need to pay a bill. (Possibly internet bill.) It takes patience, but it's possible.
Sometimes possible, and the more time that goes on the less it is.
