That’s great - for me that was probably one of the most mind blowing tech things I’ve experienced in my lifetime, but in my case I went from 56k dialup modem to DSL (still phone line) that I think capped at 1mb/second but it absolutely rocked my world.
- cm2187 2y agoNot me. My area was the first area in France to be set up with ADSL. The problem is that they only upgraded the last mile (local exchange->home) but not the pipes from the local exchange to the internet. So you were connected at 8mbit but in practice it was slower than a 56k. I think it took at least 6m to fix it. Was the same by the way on the introduction of the iphone. Wireless data networks were flooded by smartphones. You couldn't connect to the internet from a phone in certain parts of London.
