They will no will no longer throttle mobile internet to unusable speeds after data allowances are exhausted, so it is kind of a "minimum universal connection" via mobile.

400kbps would be slow as hell, for all of those use cases.

I did those things just fine on my first internet connection, which was 14.4k.

When I upgraded to 54k, it was blazingly fast.

Remember we are not talking about modern comfort, we are talking a connection that is out of data. It's okay to be annoyed.
