Can you explain why it 'slows me down' ?
I don't 'do' 4K UHD TV (I don't do
any TV thanks), and the wife is completely happy with the crap soap operas and 'real life' shite she watches on the 37" (720p) Plasma.
Online gaming is now just a madcap rush to get the biggest, best and fastest PC components to compete, not to mention all the idiots and cheaters out there to spoil a game. I don't do it anymore so don't need super fast.
I don't have a house full of Wifi gadgets that turn things on or off when I'm not at home. I may be old but can still close the curtains myself, boil a kettle when needed, and don't require a little box somewhere to find and play music for me . . or answer stupid questions I may ask it.
I can download music, books and the occasional film quickly, browsing is plenty good enough, I don't do all the 'social media' stuff that everyone else seems to think is an important aspect of their lives. I also have very little (if any) problems watching music videos/concerts and older TV episodes on Youtube.
I have no problem with the rest of you that do all these things I don't do, but I really
really don't need NEED faster BB to survive, and certainly aren't spending £75 on a fancy new router to test the theory.
The rat race will continue quite well without me taking part
