high speed Internet

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2020.09.07

I imagine I'll be laughing at this post some day, but I'm pleased with the high speed of our Internet connection. From the first floor, The Boy got 250 Mbps download and 440 Mbps upload from his iPad (which has a Wifi 6 client). My 8-9 year old laptop, which has an antique 802.11n device, managed 180 Mbps and 150 Mbps. I've managed 40 Mbps either way across the power-line adapter to where we'll plug in the TV. That's encouraging because we'll be using the same for The Boy's room with his high-powered (well, high bandwidth) gaming PC.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
