A friend could whistle a 1200 baud dial up modem sound.

Now where did I put that AOL CD rom disk?

$90/month for up to 500 Mbps download / 50 Mbps upload / 1.25 TB data per month

Wifi connection from the other side of our house.

I replaced my Modem/Router earlier this year because it was the choke point. Speeds previously were not even 25% of these numbers.

1000MBPS

$112cdn/month and Kanada is supposed to be the worst in terms of cost for cell/internet.

I have what Cox Cable calls their Gigabit plan. I have never seen the full 1024 download speed. I "only" get about 940 down and 45 up.

I still remember in my old computer club we were all marveling at the new modems that could download a full megabyte in 12 minutes. Wow that was fast. I now download and upload files in the 30 gigabyte range. No big deal.

My internet access has been slow lately but according to my providers web site all is good. I tried calling them but again they couldn't find a problem. At this point I'm actually considering switching providers.

My Wifi is a Netgear Mesh Network on WiFi 6.

Your up is a limiting factor for many things. For TCP, an ack is sent for every 8 packets received, so a 8 down/1 up ratio. Streaming stuff could be UDP so no acks

should be obvious but "gypped" is a racist term for the Romani and should not be used. we can use better terms for ripped off than to denigrate the Romani.

^^^ Yes. Some terms that were previously 'common' should probably disappear.

I got 'MotorMiestered' is still acceptable.
