That's pretty good, but probably stunting your FPS gaming progress. Good luck with the upgrade, sounds like you're in good hands 🤭

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 😂

You finally gonna let her in on how you manipulated the dating site, and she's been living inside a matrix of your construction this whole time? Haha. Lovely story 🥰🥰

She knew, I refunded her membership fee.

It was love at first refund 😂
