Google says that users are now sending more than a billion RCS messages everyday after Apple gave in and adopted the new standard on iPhone.

      With today’s internet, where a normal page is larger than the original Doom, throttled internet is basically no internet.

      Or you can just disable RCS and solve the issue for yourself

        Yes. Disabling RCS is the first thing I do on every new phone. Nobody uses text messages in my country anyway.

      So then explain why everyone in the rest of the world uses Whatsapp and not SMS. You’re telling me they’ve all had unlimited data for the last 10 years?

      128 Kb/s? Where do you live?

        This is common in the US when you run out of paid high speed data for your cell phone plan. They throttle your speeds to 128kbps so you technically have “unlimited data at 3G speeds” but it’s basically barely usable.
