    I would guess it’s to appeal to the greater United States audience of readers, as at least in my experience most people live in an area where speeds are still measured in the hundreds of Mbps. This would allow for a more direct and distinctly dramatic comparison.

      Obligatory reminder that the Third-of-a-Pound burger failed because people thought it was smaller than a Quarter Pounder, since it had a three in it instead of a four.

      You get hundreds? I don’t know anyone with that much. Although starting to see very expensive over 100Mbit options now, I use 4G as it’s cheaper and more reliable which is somewhat amusing to be able to say.

      Not like I actually need higher speeds anyway.

        I’m lucky enough to live over a business that allows me to use their Internet as a part of my lease, I do have 25Mbps. A marked upgrade from the non-business options in the area.
