Backing up your 1TB phone without taking whole house wi-fi bandwidth for 12 hours is one.

... what is wrong with your wifi, that its non-functional with <200 mbps of transfer?

200mbps is still wishful thinking in a typical household with ISP-provided consumer-grade router/AP in a suboptimal location. At the very least it will slow everything else down while it takes ~11 hours at a sustained 200mbps to transfer 1TB.

		Not sure that I expect the average hacker news commenters to stick with their ISP-provided router in a suboptimal location - you can pick up a wifi6 router for under $100, that will happily maintain gigabit speeds over a normal-sized house
