LOL that's a sweet connection you have there Dave. I feel the same when my children aren't at home sucking away all my bandwidth.
I'm jealous.
Well, it is my work connection… but fortunately there really aren't any restrictions on what it's used for (within reason, of course!).
I'm fortunate to have 50 down 12 up at home too.
I think I'm getting 25 down and 2 up.
My down hovers around the 69mb when not on wifi but drops to 50 and a airily steady 16mb up. I'm happy with that …..for now 🙂
+Stuart Dyckhoff that's nothing to sneeze at. I still remember my high school connecting to the local college's system via teletype running over an acoustically coupled modem at 300 bits per second… And in about 1988, returning from a Vegas computer show ecstatic about the crazy-fast new 14.4kbps modem I bought there…
Yup I remember those days only too well. The first (and only) BBS I ran initially opened with a blazingly fast 1200/300bps – then I got a Hayes 2400baud modem before coughing up the frankly ridiculous sum of £500 for a v32bis+ modem from US-Robotics and that was half price because I was a sysop.
BBS, dial up modems….you guys are taking me back.
The Dial Up Noise
The college students I teach don't recognize that sound.
That's a shame. Â Such an iconic sound.
I now feel old.
I refuse to be old +Erik Hirner and I'm bringing my 3 children (23, 13 & 11) up to recognise these things … 😉
I refuse to be old +Stuart Dyckhoff….but every once in awhile, something comes along that reminds me I'm not as young as I want to be.
