I don't expect it to be much improved in 2018 unless someone has billions of dollars laying around to update the old infrastructure. Anyway I'm rather fond of my CD/DVD/Blu-Ray/Games collection. I don't want to trade that for a menu screen. Digital living next to physical is fine. Instant streaming demos, bring it on. That would make me actually try those 1h ps+ game trials. |
Even without a cap, most telcos throttle connection speed down after a given number of GB has been downloaded in a month.
And even with a 20Mbps line theoric, real sustained speed is almost always lower, and often real max speed too due to rotten half mile in most houses, and using it all to download BD sized movies and games in an acceptable time, internet browsing would drop for many hours down to 56kbps era slugginess.
