Overheard a guy at a coworking space in Chiang Mai say 'slow internet is a feature not a bug' and it clicked for me

He was talking about how slow connections force you to batch work offline and actually focus instead of tab-switching every 30 seconds. Has anyone else found that slower setups unexpectedly make you more productive?

Slower wifi made me finish a whole book in one afternoon.

@oliviabarnes I get what you're saying but I see it totally different. Slower wifi just makes me want to throw my phone across the room. A whole book in one afternoon sounds nice but honestly I'd rather have fast wifi and read when I actually want to. It's like saying a slow car makes you walk more. Sure it works but it's not really a good thing on purpose. You probably finished that book out of pure boredom not because you suddenly loved reading more. I'll take my fast internet and read books on my own time thank you very much.
