    That’s only with R-nodes, which are L-O-R-A. If doing it over a faster connection such as an ethernet cable, a wireless Wi-Fi type link, etc., it can do 40 MBPS according to the documentation.

      And also, people are really spoiled with existing internet speeds. When I joined the Internet it was still relying on telephone modems for much of the connectivity. There’s plenty you can do with that. The Fediverse, right here, is an example - just ordinary text communication.

        Fediverse is also video, streaming and photos. It’s not one person, it’s many all at the same time.

        It’s not spoiled, it’s progress.

        I agree. Here at my house, I have fiber, but I only pay for 100 mbps because it’s the absolute cheapest plan I can possibly get. And if they offered something cheaper, and possibly even slower, I would be willing to accept that. Say 50 would be perfectly fine for me.

        Now, admittedly, I wouldn’t want to go much under 50, but 40 and 50 is a perfectly serviceable connection.
