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

VThere's probably faster songs
Ti had DSL internet until 2013
KIsrael
Choice of subjects I mean, nothing more than that really

KI got cable in the late 90s
J100% feel this. I too went from 500KBPs to 10MBps in 2 yrs, it felt like magic and felt future
KMy parents got sick of me needing my own phone line
JEver since I got 100mbps I've felt like this is the peak
JThe telephone one?
KI 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
Tyou have faster internet speeds than i do now
J
looking back it sounds so funnyTyea
KI mean DSL is still a thing. We have it here, it's just slower than cable so I don't use it
J100mb(its)ps is around 12mB(ytes)ps. I haven't upgraded much since 2016-17
JIs it because of legacy hardware?
JWindows 11 probably supports dsl still today
KRural customers where phone lines exist but cable lines aren't run
Ai do have 100Mbps but it is kinda mid to high option in my country, probably the average is 10Mpbs
KAre you mixing up ISDN and DSL?
KDSL functions like cable, Windows won't know it's DSL - phone line -> DSL modem -> Router
Aalso is gigabit the norm in us or europe? or is it still premium option
JI'm not sure. Which is the one where you had DSL/ADSL and you need to use phone line ?
KI'm in Canada, in any big city you can get gigabit or even 1.5gbps. Rural, much less so.
JAhh ok
I was just guessing because windows have nice legacy support

Ti just upgraded to 60 megabits down 
JSame here for fibre connections. For cell network now we have cheap 5G so 400MBps is considered kinda mid option
Tthere's fiber nearby but they do not support the town i live in despite supporting the surrounding areas
Athats nice, i mean i can get gigabit but it will cost me 250 usd/month
JAahhhhh that's very infuriating
Ktheoretically I should get faster, but I'm connected to Mullvad VPN
KI pay $95 CAD/month for gigabit. Like $70 USD.
JIn india is cheaper I guess. It starts around maybe $100/mo for gigabit lease line
JFor normal users it goes maybe upto 50USD/mo, we comparing different ppp so discrepancy
KI mean India is also far more densely populated, so it's more cost effective.
Aeconomies of scale is wild stuff
Krunning internet cable in india vs in canada = night and day for customers per km 
JI don't know how costs work for isps
JMajority users are on cell networks tho
KAh our cellular service is crap
Aalso probably cheaper to lay more cable in same place than extending the cable
Aprobably up to a limit
KI pay $35/mo for 50gb 5g, throttles to 512kbps after 50gb
Kits awful
KMOST people pay $80+, I refuse to get a subsidized phone tho so I get cheaper BYOD plans
DI think I pay 65$ for 1gb verizon fios
Dsomething like that
Athat also interesting to me in the west you buy phone with your provider
Anot a thing at all here
