I live in Redwood City, actually Redwood Shores and just two days ago I saw one of the neighbors driving by with a new Tesla Model S. In my home I have AT&T and the fastest speed they can offer is 1.5Mbps. I keep looking for U-Verse here in the heart of Silicon Valley, but it remains a dream.
For my start-up I travel every 2 months to China, Shanghai area. Every time I go there and visit different places I am just astonished the internet speed many homes have there and the hotel I stay typically has 25M-30MBps. To me it does not sound like this new ruling makes them move ahead, I feel like they are already ahead.
On the contrary, I lived in Shanghai for many years, and just spent a month there. Internet speeds, at least for accessing any sites outside China, are notoriously horrible, as anyone living there will tell you.
Using a secure proxy is often necessary not only for circumventing GFW, but to get usable speeds to western internet services.
