In short, I’m considering a project where users can monetize their GPU power. My worry is that even with good GPUs, poor connections might limit success—just need some data on people’s speeds and locations. Share any proof if you have it. Some stateside users might have exceptional connections! Also, what pricing structure are you thinking? I currently pay £1 per gigabyte and experience mostly consistent performance, sometimes even exceeding expectations. It seems to be the fastest option available in the UK.

I wish this were true! They will loby together so that one provider doesnt work within another's area so they can price and speed gouge. Duopoly? Idk what its called. But where I'm at (Pennsylvania) there was only one provider for decades. It was 50 bucks per month for 15mb down and 2mb up. Since then that's changed. I don't know the pricing now, I know it's higher. But we now get 100mb down and about 10mb up. They charge an extra fee for only having internet and no cable. Shit here is wack if you don't live in a big ass city. (even then our area is recently built up but all infrastructure is lacking.)

America has shitty ISPs. In many areas we have one wired provider. We have a 100/20 connection with a 1.2 TB data cap. $10 for every 50gigs we use over the cap. They are the only wired provider in the area. I think we pay $66/m, but it’s near the time of the year where they jack up the prices.

Speed is terrible here. Might want to try Coax for quicker connections. No internet cables available.

It seems the focus is on the opening style of a KitBoga video rather than the actual investment question.
