Web pages are increasingly bulky. A 3 MB page will take 1 second to load at 25 Mbps, so latency is often not the primary bottleneck.

Part of the problem may be that companies who own network infrastructure, and get paid for data usage, are also the ones that are the largest content providers.

This also comes with an electricity cost. We regulate efficiency for refrigerators, it might be time to add some sane limits to the largest content providers, which will also improve connectivity for those stuck with 2 Mbps.
