Comment on Show HN: TxtNet Browser – A Web Browser That Communicates over SMSparent

Just realized I had a brain fart, there's no way that those kind of speeds would be possible! I meant to say 25 bytes per second. Very slow compared to any mobile network, but better than not having any internet access at all.

Yet again, I really ought to pay more attention to my results! I was looking at the website https://example.com, which does only total 112 bytes. But https://google.com is actually 3.42kb! That means the actual effective speed is 0.76 kilobytes/second, or about 6 kilobits/sec. A lot faster than I expected!
