   my download speed at home is now 25000x faster than when i started ;__; (with a 33.6kbaud SupraExpress modem in like 1996 or 97?)

     @mntmn I'm downloading a 48.12 GB game patch and it is going to take another like 6 hours and I'm just hoping the patcher doesn't get interupted midway through.

     This feels strangely familiar to the experience of downloading shareware games over x-modem from BBSes in the 90's.

     The more things change, the more they stay the same.

     @mntmn I'm envious. You must be on ISDN.

     @mntmn All joking aside, I really should see about getting a new cable modem. Current one is only Docsis 3.0 I think and we get like 30-35 mbit down speeds. That used to be a lot. These days, it is trying to suck through a thin straw.

     @mntmn
     We've gone steadily from a 14.4kbps modem (which usually ran at about 1-4kbps) up to 200mbps over the last 25 or so years, but I CBA to work that out...
