I'm not sure having a synchronous 1Gbps connection really counts as "usually" in most of the world, but I guess in that case you'd want to avoid wifi to get the best out of it.

For the rest of us, wifi is far from the bottleneck. I'm currently working from a holiday home in the country where I'm sharing 2Mbps down with 4 other houses.

You must be American. :)

Seriously, most of Europe has had gigabit fiber, flying cars, and robot maids for nearly a decade now and in South Korea they're slowly phasing out the government in favor of a benevolent AI.


I'm British, where our Internet connections aren't quite as restricted as America's, but certainly aren't anywhere near parts of Europe.


Wait, there's more to the world than Europe and America?!?!?
