gollark: Modern wired display connectors need at least gigabytes per second. The latest version of DisplayPort goes up to 80Gbps...
gollark: Here in the UK something like 30Mbps is the common available internet connection speed outside of cities, which means a lot of compression and/or low framerate and/or resolution.
gollark: I think bandwidth might actually be more of an issue because video data is big.
gollark: On the "fibre" connection at home (VDSL to a nearby box advertised as fibre because BT) I get something like 25ms latency to Google DNS, which is less than two frames at 60Hz, so not that bad.
gollark: I think 5G is overhyped horribly anyway. LTE/4G is pretty fast anyway, the main limit for end users is data caps.
