While I disagree that 50 or 100 Mbps results in slow downloads, I do have to admit that I might be less concerned about a game installing in minutes versus hours. Then again, I grew up poor so having to be patient was just a part of life.
Of course, somebody might buy you a Series S but if the appeal is Game Pass which you might struggle to keep subscribed too, but if getting the most out of it also relies on your having semi-decent internet which you don't have and/or cannot afford, does that help?
They're poor, what else do they have to do for fun? Maybe I'm projecting since I pushed a lot of things around in my childhood (wheelbarrows full of dirt and rocks).Have you seen what's been happening in developer mode?
Well the government program in the US (ACP which replaces and supercedes the EBS program) is applicable to any internet service. So, I guess if someone had enough to cover the rest of that FIOS service here in the US, they could use ACP to help afford FIOS. Although at that point I'd question the priorities of a low income family requiring government assistance going for such an extravagance versus a cheaper lower speed internet tier and then using the money that would have gone to FIOS for more important things like food, clothing and shelter.
I started getting the $30 ACB credit every month on my Cox Cable bill a few months ago. My bill was usually over $100 just for Internet. I pay for extra data since we don't get cable or satellite TV. I'm a 1-income family of 4, but I get assistance because I adopted 2 foster kids. My income is low because I work for the government. So that's why I qualified, but I have a house mortgage & a car loan. So I don't think $30 is a lot, but every person has different budgets & priorities. Not sure anyone is in a position to be questioning another.
So as your internet bill is usually over $100 and you get $30 credit, you still pay over $70 per month for internet? And yeah, people have different priorities. Internet would be one of the last things I would surrender.

I rest my case on lack of options for internet, or just shitty internet.
