autistic complaining about improper use of SI and SI adjacent units , going into a bit of self parody at the end

please fucking capitalise units properly , the most valid interpretation of "mbps" is millibit picosecond which is invalid anyway (should be femtobit second or fb s) and also not a unit of any kind of speed , not that you are asking about speed but likely bandwidth , but also in this specific case , ignoring that you use this stupid per construct , leaving it to interpretation which letter is meant to be capitalised and which lower case leaves megabits per second (Mb s^(-1)) and megabytes per second (MB s^(-1)) (of course milibits per second and milibytes per second are also units of bandwidth) , and also because bits and bytes are involved , are you using the mega- prefix per SI or , I would argue incorrectly , per JEDEC (as in 1 KB = 1024 B ) , I don't know because you have shown a complete disregard for units and all they represent , for everyone who takes the time to understand , learn and properly use prefixes to convey a specific meaning , in a way that cannot be misinterpreted . You may not think this is important because "oh Lily you understood me anyway" and ? you have shown a complete disregard for all that anyone with a computer science degree should stand for , shown no intention to properly understand how the more and more computerised would around us works and for what ? so that your fingers can use a few less calories , putting of the heat death of the universe by an unimaginably irrelevant amount , which you will unknowingly spend anyway when you hear a bird sing across the road , is that really worth it to you ?

40/8 for 75zΕ‚/year ($19)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I'm hitting ~900mbps up and down. Only recently through the ISP "brsk" in the UK. Before I was on 70/20.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Tops at ~250mbps with Starlink. We barely have internet here otherwise, it was on the order of a handful of kbps. Took the better part of a day to download a couple hundred megabytes... Imagine the change lol

It costs me 70€ a month. They recently lowered their residential offering to 40€ but it's only applicable in mainland France,... we have to shell out the classic 70€

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

35mbps down, 45mbps up, according to speedtest.net

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

1000 down, 100 up

403 down, 10 up. That's mobile, it's all I have. In the UK it costs Β£10/month

1000mbps symmetric, $500/mo (yeah I know...)

I live pretty rural and no service providers had any desire or plans to expand service to where I am. Best offering was 768kbps DSL.

I'm in a little bit of a valley with a ton of huge trees, so Starlink would cut out every 10-15 minutes. Cellular internet was...okay...but not fast enough for my needs.

I ended up paying a provider to dig a trench from a distant main road to my property and bury a fiber line direct for my use. It has a 99.99999% uptime guarantee which is nice.

I'll be paying for it for 10 years....but honestly, worth it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Holy shit ! you'll be paying 500$/month for ten years ? Yea, I imagine I would do that too, given the dough

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Sadly, yeah. Moved out here mid-COVID and I really don't anticipate needing to move (got a good chunk of land, it's quiet, farm animals, etc.) and I can do my job remote so the internet was definitely necessary. But we'll see where life takes me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Got any neighbours who might pay for some of that?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Not close enough, no. Though I was briefly looking into offering something using some high-powered point to point hardware, just haven't really done it yet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

60K in 10 years is not very expensive if you didn’t have to pay for the digging itself. That could easily be as expensive without any service. Now I don’t know what happens after your current contract though, whether it will be reduced or if you have options to switch providers…

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Supposedly it drops to something like $60/mo (in today's dollars). The rest is actually me having agreed to subsidize the digging itself. I just looked again it's actually 8 years, so on the whole I still feel like it was worth it.

In fact, I remember them telling me they went way over budget on the project so I'm actually underpaying (we signed agreements prior to them breaking ground). So I guess that aligns.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Good one. And your commune wouldn't pay for any of it ?
