I was surprised how much I could get done with the 128kbps.

Whatsapp calls were fine - used it to call my wife who was travelling with me, rather than paying the 20 cents per minute (x2) to make a regular call. Even was able to upload videos to Whatsapp without it taking forever.

Surprisingly, the slowest thing was webpages - even mobile optimized ones.

Want to email, text, Whatsapp calls, and do moderate internet browsing (news, flyertalk, etc). No streaming. Would the throttled speed drive us crazy? I have zero sense of how slow 128 is.
