[Ipg-smz] I'm getting gigabit fiber to my desk at work - yay!

[Lynn Greiner]

Sigh. Rub it in, you two. Up here, we’re robbed blind. I have unlimited 100 MB/s for $60 Canadian per month on a promo plan which, according to the site, is normally $101 per month – and which I will have to renegotiate in April when the promo expires. Mega-sigh.

Nice. I've just discovered that if I ditch my 15Mb/s landline, I can get unlimited 150 Mb/s 4G for £22/month (including LTE router). That's about $24+tax.

It's all over now.  I've been told that within about two months I'll have symmetrical gigabit fiber to my desk at work. I've been squeaking by with 25 Mbps cable modem connectivity. 

 

                I'll be able to tweet 40 times faster. Watch out world. I'm giving fair warning now.

Seriously, though, it'll be so nice doing fast uploads of large video files to YouTube and the Internet Archive -- and maybe doing some video conferencing with a large number of folks simultaneously.
