8Mbps down, 0.75 up! DSL sucks ass

Meh. The more bandwidth I have, the more bandwidth I waste. My home connection can sustain a (roughly) 5.3mbps download, and I honestly feel very little incentive to get anything much faster. [Edit] And it's not one of those "you don't know what you're missing unless you experience it" type of situations. My work machine (which I reach over VPN) can sustain hundreds of megabytes (not megabits) per second, and while I find that all very impressive, I don't know what use I'd put that to if I had that here at home.

where more bandwidth comes in handy is when things get busy. if my wife is on a Zoom call, my remote desktop connection will sometimes simply time out, with our glorious 8Mbps (max, and highly unstable) DSL connection. if we had even 20Mbps, that wouldn't happen.

I was going to point out that I'm the only one in the house using my connection, but even then, I did complain a few days ago that every once in a while I have a system that randomly decides to start downloading something; I can't identify which system, and what it's downloading...and that can be a problem. Getting a faster connection for this case however sounds like a Band-Aid solution, as the root cause would still exist.

I have 1,200Mbps at home, 400Mbps at work - and they want me to go back to the office!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I don't even think I have network adapters that can handle that. Sheesh. I have 750MBits or so and I'd be happy with 200MBits/s - i know that because my wifi router gets saturated after 200MBits/s of traffic. :laugh: I have to hard line into the thing to get my full speed. I only do that for one machine.

I agree. I now have 120Mbps down and upload at 42Mbps with ping at 14ms. Downloading and running a project from github takes 1 minute. A Xcode update of 14gb was a pain before and is now ready while I have a coffee. Of course, now I have no excuse for not working any more..
