I think a fast connection helps with:

  • Watching educational material/talks etc
  • Downloading large back-ups
  • Uploading large files/back-ups
  • Can you think of any more?

This is my current connection (connected via wifi on a 5Ghz band):

Costs £50/$62 a month (includes line rental and unlimited land-line telephone calls and 2000 call-minutes to UK mobiles)

(Note, if your router only offers you 2.4Ghz, it is well worth upgrading to one that has a 5Ghz band.)

I live in Indonesia, don’t ask me about internet connection quality. It’s really sad, pretty embarassing to share the speedtest result.

I just live a few kilometers from the capital, btw.

“do you think a fast connection is needed for software development?”

For these needs:

  1. git pulling and pushing
  2. basic ssh, curl and other terminal things
  3. visiting stackoverflow

i think it’s already good. Having a good stable connection is already a heaven for me.

I feel your pain. I live in a small town here in brazil. Besides the problem with the internet connection there is the problem with the devaluation of our currency which limits very much the ammount of paid material we can get each month.

I love my service, ~$60/month, I have a fairly low service (they have gigabit at most and tiers in between) but my router is ancient so I’ve not seen a point to get higher. It is fast, unmetered, and unlimited (normally slows down after 300gigs/month but if you pay the extra $10, like I do, you get unlimited, and I often use well more than 300gigs/month because of working on my servers and lots of VNC over SSH), plus since where I live sits straight on an L3 backbone my latencies are utterly fantastic! I’m always the one who ends up hosting game servers between friends. ^.^ But yep, my latency fluctuates depending on the time of day between 4ms to 12ms to google, latency is one of the big things I look for because of my ssh/vnc work.

This is about the only perk of living in the desert. ^.^
