Kamquat•7/4/24, 1:08 PM

My first modem was 2400bps, I know the pain of horrible speeds.

Kamquat•7/4/24, 1:08 PM

I went from 2400bps to 14.4k. was insane.

KKamquat yes, back in my day we used Netscape on our Linux on fvwm95.

Jazze (plz ping when reply)OP•7/4/24, 1:08 PM

I've used Netscape once
It was actually not that bad

Kamquat•7/4/24, 1:08 PM

I got cable in the late 90s

KKamquat I went from 2400bps to 14.4k. was insane.

Jazze (plz ping when reply)OP•7/4/24, 1:09 PM

100% feel this. I too went from 500KBPs to 10MBps in 2 yrs, it felt like magic and felt future

Kamquat•7/4/24, 1:09 PM

My parents got sick of me needing my own phone line

Ttryhardsoccermomswag i guess i feel this

Jazze (plz ping when reply)OP•7/4/24, 1:10 PM

Ever since I got 100mbps I've felt like this is the peak

Kamquat•7/4/24, 1:11 PM

I remember having to call my ISP to ask them to not automatically disconnect my line at midnight like they normally did if I was downloading large ~~warez~~ linux isos

JJazze (plz ping when reply)Ever since I got 100mbps I've felt like this is the peak

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/4/24, 1:11 PM

you have faster internet speeds than i do now

KKamquat My parents got sick of me needing my own phone line

Jazze (plz ping when reply)OP•7/4/24, 1:11 PM

looking back it sounds so funny

JJazze (plz ping when reply)The telephone one?

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/4/24, 1:11 PM

yea

Kamquat•7/4/24, 1:12 PM

I mean DSL is still a thing. We have it here, it's just slower than cable so I don't use it

Ttryhardsoccermomswag you have faster internet speeds than i do now

Jazze (plz ping when reply)OP•7/4/24, 1:12 PM

100mb(its)ps is around 12mB(ytes)ps. I haven't upgraded much since 2016-17

Jazze (plz ping when reply)OP•7/4/24, 1:13 PM

Is it because of legacy hardware?

Jazze (plz ping when reply)OP•7/4/24, 1:13 PM

Windows 11 probably supports dsl still today

JJazze (plz ping when reply)Is it because of legacy hardware?

Kamquat•7/4/24, 1:13 PM

Rural customers where phone lines exist but cable lines aren't run

asen23•7/4/24, 1:13 PM

i do have 100Mbps but it is kinda mid to high option in my country, probably the average is 10Mpbs

JJazze (plz ping when reply)Windows 11 probably supports dsl still today

Kamquat•7/4/24, 1:13 PM

Are you mixing up ISDN and DSL?

Kamquat•7/4/24, 1:14 PM

DSL functions like cable, Windows won't know it's DSL - phone line -> DSL modem -> Router

asen23•7/4/24, 1:14 PM

also is gigabit the norm in us or europe? or is it still premium option

KKamquat Are you mixing up ISDN and DSL?

Jazze (plz ping when reply)OP•7/4/24, 1:14 PM

I'm not sure. Which is the one where you had DSL/ADSL and you need to use phone line ?

Aasen23 also is gigabit the norm in us or europe? or is it still premium option

Kamquat•7/4/24, 1:14 PM

I'm in Canada, in any big city you can get gigabit or even 1.5gbps. Rural, much less so.

Jazze (plz ping when reply)OP•7/4/24, 1:14 PM

Ahh ok
I was just guessing because windows have nice legacy support

Jazze (plz ping when reply)OP•7/4/24, 1:15 PM

Same here for fibre connections. For cell network now we have cheap 5G so 400MBps is considered kinda mid option

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/4/24, 1:15 PM

there's fiber nearby but they do not support the town i live in despite supporting the surrounding areas

asen23•7/4/24, 1:15 PM

thats nice, i mean i can get gigabit but it will cost me 250 usd/month

Jazze (plz ping when reply)OP•7/4/24, 1:16 PM

Aahhhhh that's very infuriating

Kamquat•7/4/24, 1:16 PM

theoretically I should get faster, but I'm connected to Mullvad VPN

Aasen23 thats nice, i mean i can get gigabit but it will cost me 250 usd/month

Kamquat•7/4/24, 1:17 PM

I pay $95 CAD/month for gigabit. Like $70 USD.

KKamquat I pay $95 CAD/month for gigabit. Like $70 USD.

Jazze (plz ping when reply)OP•7/4/24, 1:18 PM

In india is cheaper I guess. It starts around maybe $100/mo for gigabit lease line

Jazze (plz ping when reply)OP•7/4/24, 1:18 PM

For normal users it goes maybe upto 50USD/mo, we comparing different ppp so discrepancy

Kamquat•7/4/24, 1:18 PM

I mean India is also far more densely populated, so it's more cost effective.

asen23•7/4/24, 1:19 PM

economies of scale is wild stuff

Kamquat•7/4/24, 1:19 PM

running internet cable in india vs in canada = night and day for customers per km

Jazze (plz ping when reply)OP•7/4/24, 1:19 PM

True

Jazze (plz ping when reply)OP•7/4/24, 1:19 PM

Majority users are on cell networks tho

Kamquat•7/4/24, 1:20 PM

Ah our cellular service is crap

asen23•7/4/24, 1:20 PM

also probably cheaper to lay more cable in same place than extending the cable

asen23•7/4/24, 1:20 PM

probably up to a limit

Kamquat•7/4/24, 1:20 PM

I pay $35/mo for 50gb 5g, throttles to 512kbps after 50gb
