Why would you make an exception for download speed? It was the reason why the internet was slow back then.

This is like saying Victorian Britain wasn't polluted, except for all the coal burning.

Cars have much more power today but generally don’t go much faster because they’re much heavier. Just because downloads are faster doesn’t mean the user experience is faster or more snappy. In fact, it might be worse. Quality doesn’t follow from quantity.
