you don't need to travel from Wisconsin to Washington to experience a slow internet connection.
Try any mainstream commute on the South West Trains Wimbledon to Waterloo (London) and you'll a) still get blackouts for about 1/4 of the 25 minute trip (this is one of the most densely populated areas in Europe - no excuses) and b) at 3 of the 4 stations you'll stop at, your vaunted 4g connection will drop to 1998 speeds due to contention. I generally curse the complex sites in these situations because you'll easily be waiting 30-90 seconds (firmly in your heatmap's red zone) for full load at least once per commute.
Incidentally, kudos on perfectly communicative yet lightweight web page (50Kb).
Agreed. It's not just "third world countries" that have slow connections. Low powered devices have slow connections. Places where there are lots of people with portable devices have slow connections. This is now not a long time ago, nor far far away. The more wearables and IoT becomes a "thing" you're going to find that attempting to get more interactions by saving on transmission and client CPU load is worth the investment.
