This conspiracy theory says ad tech companies deliberately keep web pages loading slow because they make more money that way.
We either need symmetric gigabit fiber everywhere, or a better web protocol that does store and forward and load balancing, so that we can get off the commercial web.

One thing I've noticed lately is that I'm a lot quicker to pull the ripcord if a page doesn't seem like it's
loading. If I go five seconds on my cable connection and don't see some content, I hit command-W
and move on. On my phone, they get a little more time, but not over ten seconds unless the link-bait
was especially tasty.

"off the commercial web".. 3 Ubiquity AP's arrived, time to play with
https://commotionwireless.net/ and other decentralized / mesh network topologies.
