I did think that it would be rude to make fun of someone with poor internet connections, perhaps because they could not afford better ones. And I thought IT Crowd might be a bit too unknown to most people, so they would not get the reference. But I made myself laugh, so I forgot about all that.
It just reminded me of the times when 80mb was an insurmountable amount to download, would take hours. (Before the turn of the century we had ISDN - 64kbit. That entails a download speed of 8kb/s, tops. So 80mb would have taken nearly three hours, and of course one could NOT browse while waiting.)
I am from the past :'(
