I love comments like these. Imagine that, we're complaining about having only 1mbps down and 128kbps up. And that's wireless. That's amazing in a way. Progress is so subtle that what would have been an incredible feat of advanced magic less than 2 decades ago is now considered to be anaemic and practically unusable.

To me this is a sign of huge progress, not only do we expect multiple mbps connections for our pocket computers, we're upset when we don't get that level of performance even in the backwaters of our societies.
