- amorphid 8y agoI wonder what speeds would be achievable over the ancient copper wire in my building.
- philjohn 8y agoDepends. If it's 50+ years old it'll be fine, sure, some of the joints might not be, but that's not awful to fix. Then Copper prices went up massively for a while and thinner guage twister pair went in at best, and Aluminium was used at worst.
