I can't imagine 35meg upload in 2022, working from home, cloud storage, etc....

Oh wait, I can imagine it. I have to visit my parents tomorrow in northwestern bumblefuck, with like 3 megabit download.

It's actually much slower than it used to be.

15 years ago, we had like 8/8 SDSL, and it ran pretty well.

But over the years, it steadily got worse, even though they advertise it as faster. They're now getting like 3/0.5 actual speeds.

Same ISP. Used to be "Warwick Online" back when I lived up there a billion years ago, but it's gone through a few acquisitions, and it seems to get worse every time I go up.
