this is the most undersung hero. Internet speeds are reaching the equivalent of a datacenter. This will open up so many possibities, that it makes it seem like the 2000s again. And finally we might actually need ipv6
- klabb3 3y agoI just moved out of the consumer internet dystopia that is California (or most of US I guess) to Spain and am just about to get 10 Gbit symmetric for €25/mo. Even if I get half of that I’m ecstatic. This kind of infrastructure is so conducive to all kinds of interesting and “decentralized” innovations.

- graemep 3y agoBad regulation. Ofcom is allowing Openreach to keep asymmetric pricing for FTTP. Unjustified market segmentation. The govt has a focus on download speeds (which are useful for high quality video) and does not care about upload or latency which filters down. On reflection, even the the terms "upload" and "download" are based on the assumption connections are for consuming media.

- dekhn 3y agodatacenter network speeds are ~400+Gbit (between data centers) and in the Tbit range within data centers. A typical server now has a 10Gbit NIC.
- bamazizi 3y agoYes indeed. My Bell.ca ~1gb fiber has a monthly cost of $100 + $20 for dedicated IP. Since it's business line fiber internet it comes with monitored service quality meaning it's prioritized over others using regular/residential fiber internet (claimed!) BTW, I can get multiple lines if i'd ever need it
