Gigabit fiber internet is quite cheap and increasingly available (I'm not from the US). I don't just use the internet over a 4/5g connection. This definitely affects more people than you think.

I think it affects lots of people.

I have 5gbps internet at home myself.

But that is not what i was replying to. I was replying to the claim that this affects regular 4g/5g cell phone speeds. The data is clear that it does not.

What about 1gbps fiber at home, it is becoming common in Canada. I have 1gbps up/down.

This would affect that.

As said, i was only replying to the claim that this affects things at 4g/5g cell phone speeds, which it clearly does not, by their own data.

Still won't be beyond normal consumer applications' capacity, right?

correct

Http1.1 has been around for 28 years. At the time, gigabit ethernet was _expensive_. 9600baud on mobile was rare.

and yet http1.1 runs on gigabit networks pretty well.
