That's the dream, it hasn't happened yet 😞

What have you been using all this time? Some type of dish, or a lesser cable? What year is it over there?
FTTC, Fibre to the Cabinet, with Copper making the last half a mile.
We get about 60Mb/s down, 15Mb/s up with it.
That's pretty good, but probably stunting your FPS gaming progress. Good luck with the upgrade, sounds like you're in good hands ðŸ¤
I got a 45Mb/s fibre Internet connection that cost $20,000 a month back in 2001 in order to reduce my ping time in Quake
I also built a data centre and hosted some servers
That's more true than you'll ever believe 😂
Lolol I don't know enough from back then to appreciate just how beefy that would have been at the time, but guessing based on price that it was waaaay ahead of its time.
Would not have guessed you played quake lol. Thats awesome. Great game, I used to watch others play sometimes.
20k though?! A month?!! Baller
We made profit from that. Among others, we hosted the UK's largest site friendsreunited.co.uk which was started by a school friend of mine.
I'm still in contact with the two founders on occasion.
Very cool! I scarcely used the internet back then. What an idiot I was, missed out on all the early cool stuff
We had online dating back then, which is how I met my wife.
I had admin privileges on the site.
Even I'm not adverse to a little corruption now and again 😂
Diabolical! And a bit creepy, but I'd do the same
It's our 20 year wedding anniversary next month 😂
