Yes, if a 56k modem was running at full tilt you could get around 5kbytes per second. Downloading SG1 episodes back in 2000 over a 56k modem was not quite the streaming experience we take for granted today :D

I wonder how much ICMP is going to those IPs. I ping 1.0.0.1 ("ping 1.1") as a quick check to ensure my internet is working a lot, far quicker and less stretching than typing ping 8.8.8.8. When I'm tracing a fault I'll p

You can of course print money instead of raising taxes but the principle's the same. Lets rephrase it then. How many hours of electrical engineer time should be spent hooking up a new home in rural Ontario? Why would an electrical engi

The system should either break even (which it doesn't do), or cost money (which means taxpayers subsidise it), or make money (which means users subsidise other taxpayers) The question is to what extent should grid connections to new ru

That's 56mpg (American gallons are smaller). It's also a claimed number, real numbers tend to be about 70% of that, which would make it about 40mpg (US). https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/renault/clio-

60mpg (us) is 72mpg (uk), or 4l/100km. A Vauxhall Corsa may claim that[0], but I've got one at the moment as a rental and don't get anywhere near that, more like 45-50mpg (uk) - so about 40mpg (us). [0] https://www

Well HS2 is a belated attempt to start building a high speed, high capacity network, about 30 years later than France, and look at the trouble that brings. There is no public appetite in the UK for more rail capacity, or for faster services
