I have Verizon Unlimited wireless (not 5G) internet at the house, because it is my only option other than DSL (GAG). They say there is not data cap on my usage, but the download speed has dropped significantly (time per block...). I am at block 277923 and it is taking between 20 sec. & over a minute to download a block.

My internet speed is 21.46 Mbs/s down / 11.09Mb/s up. (Speedtest.net)

Once this download is complete, I'm going to copy the folder to another drive and store it as an archive so I don't have to do the whole download again... This is a great optopn to build from scratch, but a little forethought and preparation will prevent me from the agonizing wait in the future.
