> low-band 5G gives you 30–250

First and foremost, I agree with the meat of your comment.

But I wanted to point about your comment, that it DOES very much matter that apps meant to be transmitted over a remote connection are, indeed, as slim as possible.

You must be thinking about 5G on a city with good infrastructure, right?

I'm right now having a coffee on a road trip, with a 4G connection, and just loading this HN page took like 8~10 seconds. Imagine a bulky and bloated web app if I needed to quickly check a copy of my ID stored in NextCloud.

It's time we normalize testing network-bounded apps through low-bandwidth, high-latency network simulators.
