me: ofc calyx institute unlimited data thing or mabye at&t fiber internet
The US had the world’s best internet in the 1990’s and by god we still have it. Gigabit internet is not available in a lot of places. And the internet which is available is usually slow, expensive and has shit service. Until late last year, I was paying $80/month for 25mbps download speeds. I’m now on a 5G based service for $25/month, but the service can get spotty some days. I’d kill for gigabit service at $50/month.
Dunno where they’re living but my dad lives in an eastern German “suburb” (which irl is just a 500 ppl village that happens to be within a 15km radius of a bigger city) and gets 1000GB/s through fiber optic whilst paying about 50 EUR. So maybe they meant 1k GB/s, they’re just living in no man’s land or German broadband prices vary dramatically.
I think you’re mixing up your units… 1000 GB/s would be enough for a whole data center.
Tru dat, I meant, 1 GB/s or 1000 MB/s.
Thanks for pointing that out ^^
Still not quite. It’s 1 Gbit/s („gigabit“) not 1 GB/s („gigabyte“) which is a factor of eight apart. Marketing departments often obscure this by writing 1 Gb/s which is technically a valid way of writing one gigabit per second but very misleading. I‘ve never seen an ISP advertising in byte-based units and why would they? To the untrained eye they would look like they’re eight times slower than the competition.
Ah my bad, tbh I do know this but I kinda forgot that bc I’m a bit stressed out lately hence my late and hasty replies
Anyways tysm for getting it right ^^
