He's 13. It'll be 4-5 years before he goes to college. Does he have any concept how much things are going to change between now and then??
When I was in college (let's just say - more than 10 and less than 20 years ago
) the dorms were all wired up with T1 lines. At the time, that was cutting-edge. Now, even a standard residential cable or DSL circuit will run rings around a T1.
Your son needs to stop worrying about this and worry about doing well in HS and getting into a good college instead.
