He has a point though. I guess you are even more productive if your connection does not allow you to stream netflix all day ;)

To me it's about latency more than bandwidth. Unfortunately providers do not advertise in milliseconds. They used to for a short while to have "gamers" pay extra around 2000 I believe.

I agree. Especially cheaper german providers like UnityMedia have huge issues with latency because they overload their network in order to reduce cost.

Netflix is an evil invention of privacy-violating Americans (an probably operating in copyright grayzone). There, am I doing it correctly?
