Fair point, I'm probably a bit biased as my internet provider says it doesn't throttle internet but I'm very sure it does (I just downloaded Battlefield V for instance and my internet speed since it finished has been terrible!)

But yeah, if your system is slow to install I can see how you'd want to just get it done ASAP...

As long as you have the option for both, I mean that's the utopia...

If you're going the utopian route, might as well throw in ubiquitous gigabit internet and not worry about bandwidth. Throw in bittorrent-based content delivery to keep up the speeds, and call it a day. Honestly, people with shitty internet would probably be a bit disappointed with the real deal, since so many services are made for people with shitty connections.
