My internet is so bad that on some tests I've gotten ~1mb/s. It averages about 5mb/s, so progressive loading is important for me.
Look at this guy flexing his internet speed. I have 4G because despite fiber being less than 300m away they won't bring it. Am near a freaking Olympic stadium so you my think I'd have the best internet but nope, it gets as slow as 32kb/s and even lower. I had times where images gradually load like it's the 90s again and even sites telling me am not connected/going offline mode randomly. I think i need to also mention websites never loading or taking literal minutes to do so.
You wear the crown of the shitty internet king
As the king, i declare that all images must be jpegxl and videos must be x265 with variable resolutions available. Seriously, why some images are so big ? Not compressing them is the most wasteful thing ever.
Few seconds GIFs: let us introduce ourselves
The bane of my existence.
Videos should be AV1
Completely forgot AV1. Decree changed : it's AV1 now.
I'd also like to add that all lossy audio must be Opus (or codec 2)
I'd use opus for live audio and low bitrate content e.g. audiobooks. For music ogg vorbis. But probably opus can do that as well and even better.
You've been appointed minister of technology.
With those speeds I'm surprised you haven't gone back to QuickTime and RealPlayer.
QuickTime ? you mean going back to old format like .3gp or .mov ? I said i have a slow internet not that I am some kind of psychopath.
I feel your pain, I'm in the same boat regarding fiber, it's so unfair. Luckily I was able to move to a home 5G plan and I've been having a blast with the speeds I get sometimes (granted they are still laughable in comparison to the big boys with 1Gbps fiber in big cities), I think you'll have better luck seeing that kind of thing becoming available to you before any kind of fiber
Not in my country. 1Gbps isn't a thing here. Heck, we only recently went from* 1mb to 2mb to 4mb to 10mb in like the past 6 years or so. Admittedly, it's the cheapest offer but that's what most people are able to afford anyway.
*the real download speed is that divided by 8 so it's 1mb/8 --> 128kb/s and so on.
Damn, that's really shitty
