The answer, paradoxically, is to move to a silly little village
half-an-hour away from a city in Bulgaria,
as I have unlimited fibre-optic internet for $5 a month.
According to Ookla my download speed is about 61 Mbps, and my upload
speed is 48 Mbps.
I really don't know what those numbers mean; but it does mean that Xcode
11 took 45 minutes, whether
that is fast or slow, I do remember the dial-up modem in Carbondale,
Illinois in 1993 taking 11 hours to download
1.1 MB . . .

Lest anyone think this is a rural issue.
I live in a major metropolitan city in the US. (Seattle, Wa) And am still on
DSL and can’t get cable or fiber to my house without paying to have poles
placed and or conduit run underground... very expensive. Our DSL is over copper
lines from 1936 whose insulation (lead) has been riddled with holes.
When it rains, we have no internet and usually no phone. To get Apple updates,
I either lose a day or go someplace with a reliable hispeed connecton.

Looks interesting, but I'd be wary of anything that does
install.sh | bash
without checking the source first
