I don’t have many problems with online advertising. It supports creators and makes services free. When ads start limiting my experience, as with Portland MetroFi’s free service, I feel differently. Because fast matters.
Broadband is widely available, but that’s no excuse to run bloated ads. Like I’ve said before, I don’t mind most online advertising, but that doesn’t mean I want to wait for it to load. Fast still matters.
I realized this weekend how we take broadband for granted now. I remember bragging about my DSL and making ripped CDs back in the day.
