Not all internet connections are equal in all countries. In the UK,
8Mbps is currently the average speed. In South Africa the average speed
would be 256-512Kbps (yes, that's with a K). The highest "reliable"
speed (take that with a huge pinch of salt - as you never get close to
that speed in reality) in South Africa is 4Mbps. A stark contrast to the
UK's affordable and reliable 75-200Mbps. And apparently the UK is
lagging behind other countries too.

So an additional 10MB download can make a huge difference, depending
where in the world you live. Adding a 100-300MB for each application
download is simply absurd.
