True, and I’m most worried about older folks like that. I think DSL wouldn’t have too much trouble with podcasts but it’s on demand and many people, myself included, tend to get it more via radio on a commute rather than actively seeking it.
It’s probably part of a broader plan to keep these people in the dark, so while I’m not personally impacted, I am worried about the ramifications for others like that.
As someone who had 1.6mbps dsl for a long time (up until 2018), it is plenty for streaming audio. It’ll do 480p video pretty well, and depending on bitrate can sometimes do 720p. Multiple users for video streaming is impossible, but should work ok for audio.
