Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Wow. Good job. I've never used fiber so I've never seen uploads higher than downloads.

We have fiber but are cheapskates so only have 50 Mbps speed. Fast enough for our needs.

I'm on the 250/250 plan, but evidently they've got me at close to 1gig up for some reason.

Can you time travel at those speeds? If so, do me a solid and let me know how the Pirate game ends. I am tired and want to go to bed.

Why are your upload and download so close (or better) while most upload speed offerings are much slower than download?

Nah - this is only Ridiculous Speed, not even Ludicrous Speed, let alone Plaid.

Dunno. ISPs have always gimped the upload. I guess that they figure that the Average Joe doesn't need to upload as much as they need to download.

Ha - I was going to joke about that.

Wow. Slow evening followed by slow morning. I found this thread at position 21. Almost as rare as a pre-dawn rain.
