I'm connecting to remote SSH endpoints for 20+ years and the connection quality actually improved over the years. Some of these connections are not just encrypted text-based stuff, but tunnelled VNC and other more throughput-hungry use-cases for using SSH (than logging into remote text-based terminal).

I'm curious - what do you do, or what use-case do you have in mind, that renders 16 Mbit/s throughput "completely unusable"? I never required 16 Mbit/s throughput for... anything related to my work. It's enough even for high-quality video conferencing.

Well, downloading 1GB of updates, or a 15GB dataset is a pretty common occurrence.
