      I had 2Mbps (yes, bits, not bytes) until 2020. Then I moved out. Pretty sure that my parents house still only gets that same speed. And this is in fucking Germany, a pretty densely populated country.

        I’m sure I’d get a faster speed than that in a piece of string.

        Honestly that sounds like the cable was damaged, was that really the actual target speed?

      Wow I had that in 2008. Damn that sucks. You can’t even stream 4K HDR video.
