When I went to Cape Town the internet was awful. Super slow (at least for US/EU sites) and with very restrictive data caps (IIRC, 10GB per month). That was circa 2008 so perhaps things are better now

10GB a month? Jeez what were you doing? Streaming videos all day!?

Is that considered a lot, especially for home internet? I was busting 3-5x that a couple years ago on mobile data alone.

I was mostly joking but 10GB even in 2008 still isn't a lot. 300gb hard drives were pretty common. Although I bet you could've got a lot more out of that 10GB than you can now what with the absurd amount of ads and excessive bloat on websites nowadays.

2008 was 12 years ago, not a couple.

A lot has changed in 12 years
