My internet is now dsl that has similar headline performance as yours, probably better realized performance. I wouldn't trust anything a carrier says relative to performance. If you haven't tested a wireless system at a location you should NOT assume that it works AT ALL.

For years I had 2mbps or worse dsl and I hated every minute. Some dev you can do just fine under those circumstances. I never got into the Docker habit because Docker makes me download a few gigabytes even if I want to make a few character change.

Thanks for that. Helpful. I know the property is a customer of AT&T wireless now, so presumably it works at least a little bit. I think for situations like the docker scenario you described it would make sense to keep a cloud machine running and do stuff like that on the remote machine.
Docker works in layers. Your problem is that you've put the thing you're changing at the bottom layer so it affects everything above it. Rearrange things so that two character change is the top layer and it will make life a lot less painful.
