As a kid I used to want the fastest internet I could get my hands on. Downloading games, streaming YouTube, etc. But my habits have changed. I prefer text-based websites like this one, I do most of my computing in an SSH session. I avoid bloaty software, not out of some principled stance, but out of personal preference for simple things. I'd do fine with 500Kbps, and never thought I'd say that.
