I normally look at the web at home on my cell phone modem. As far as performance goes it is borderline pathetic. Still better than the 3kbs that my home phone had 3 years ago.
Not everyone lives near a state capitol or major city. I have two main locations that I access the internet at on my cell phone modem. One is in Missouri and it usually gets 160-300kbs I have another location in Illinois that I am lucky to get 160kbs. Neither location is line of sight.
The place that gives me the best signal is in the woods. The place that gives me the worst signal is at the highest point in the county and is about the same distance to a tower. I can barely view a you tube video.It is full of starts and stops when everything is perfect.
Nothing happens in my world at a million characters per second. Of course the best thing about my location is the lack of people. No traffic lights, lack of civilization. No one around me has anything funny on their vehicles.
