Mars has a different sort of bandwidth issue, related to the 2-way travel time of radio waves at this distance. You can send up commands, go to lunch, and come back in time to see if your spacecraft got them OK. Everything's in batch mode, and bandwidth is severely constrained. They have to schedule everything. Also the Martian day is just different enough that the schedule moves slowly through our day, going in and out of sync with normal work hours. Matt Golombek for years wore two watches, one for Earth and one modified for Mars.

Point is that 5 billion people are not all trying to communicate all at once. The Internet is interactive mode, and stuff gets slow. We're near a fiber backbone, and even so this board really slows down in December. I imagine it's worse away from large cities.
