I resent your implication that I cannot connect the dots, but I will demonstrate just to show you how wrong you are.
My Internet is so slow right now that this picture took like 20 seconds to finally appear
The chortle when I finally saw it was absolutely worth it
Excuse be but are you from the past?
Yeah but only about 20 seconds
Latency in my life is CRAZY
Real talk: are you in dialup or something like satellite with really bad rates? Backwoods? Fire watch tower?
I live up on a mountain but I get 4G and 5G service, so my Internet is one of those 5G boxes. It's usually pretty fast, but recently it's been chugging along (luckily only for a handful of minutes at a time before going back to normal for a while)
I'm very far from a Musk fan and hate the massive leap towards Kessler Syndrome that Starlink satellites have wrought but... I think you should get Starlink.
It's alright now, thanks for the suggestion though! The provider was just having awful outages
I actually had starlink a while back, the latency was worse than my 5G/4G box so I didn't stick with it
A true lesser of two evils scenario, then. I'm sorry those are your options.
That image made me relapse.
We're all from the past.
