So, since las thursday i've been forced to use LTE for everything, because some telco-technician #$%ed up my DSL/Telephone cable while owrking on another line.
Apparently, they still haven't been able to fix it. In the meantime, my data cap for LTE has long been reached, and I've been surfing the net with ~2 kb/s for the past few days.
Let me tell you: I've gained a whole new impression of the "modern" internet. And it's not a good one.

Stuff like Hacker News, Instant messaging, IRC (over weechat+tmux+ssh), and _thoughtfully_ built websites are still usable. A bit slow, but you can get stuff done.
OTOH: Every damn news website, Google, e-commerce platforms, etc are outright unusable. Like, I am technically unable to use them because the stuff so much !@#$ down my browser throat, that connections are timing out.

@thunfisch Are you US-based? I would recommend Cricket Wireless. Even after you reach your 2GB data cap on their $30/month, they only throttle you to 128Kbps.
