Geothermal heating is possible in most places even without volcanos or hot springs that Iceland has. The temperature of soil just 0.5m under the surface is almost constant over the year, and soil due to huge thermal mass can act as an excel

Problem with that approach is that 1 second on his connection is not necessarily equal to 1s on mine or your connection. So we'd need to see the expected traffic and then discuss "the average time" that makes sense, the speed
