I needed something like this back when I lived out in the sticks. Could only get 2g - 3g on Verizon at home, had a DSL line for the desktop, high speed connections were prohibitively expensive. Back in the day you could just walk away and let sites buffer while doing other stuff, but as the rest of the world grew faster, low speed customers got left behind. Everything is set to timeout if it fails to load in a couple minutes.

Only solution I ever found was to disable JavaScript, force everything to HTML/CSS only where possible, and use a download manager with automatic retry/restart to download any videos I wanted to watch from YouTube or Facebook.
