My measures are based on interactive "click" latency of 20-100ms to load
a web page and its associated images, at the resolution of the
displaying device and came up with the diagram here over 20 years ago:
https://www.isi.edu/lowlat/requirements.html

It suggested users with 72 DPI screens (still common) would be happy
browsing the web or interacting with video at around 45 Mbps (shown as
T3, as many of us have today). Push that to "retina" levels (300 DPI)
and it stats to approach "government gigabit" (600 Mbps) quickly.

At 1 Mbps, the only thing you're doing interactively is likely text.

Joe
