This feels like one of those points that go back to our recent history vs the last 100,000 years of evolution.
Before artifical light, alarm clocks, jobs, screens with blue light etc - we presumably woke and slept fairly consistently, no doubt tied partly to sunlight and temperature. Some people probably slept more than others, as they always have, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a lot more consistency.
This is not an accurate statement. I'm paying GBP25/mo for 1Gbit symmetrical in London suburbs. Same provider offers up to 3Gbit symmetrical for non-business. And I'm not in some fancy new build- the fibre is run from the existing street telegraph pole to the front of the house.
Yes it's not necessarily nationwide but "unheard of" is way off, before you even consider Virgin cover a sizeable chunk of the country and their DOCSIS upgrade means they can push gigabit now.
