Nice, I called my ISP last month about my internet bill going up, so they slashed it by $30 from what it was meant to be originally, and upgraded me from 180mbps to Gigabit.
Holy shit, I had to upgrade so much stuff. My shitty ISP combo router isn't Wifi6 so even the fastest wifi in the house "only" gets about 500mbps down. Wife and I had to run a 75ft Cat6 ethernet cable from the living room downstairs up to a five-port switch, AND THEN I find out that half of the devices I have (mostly older desktops and laptops) have 10/100 or just sub-Gigabit ethernet chipsets. Cue a montage of cheap ethernet cards, USB3 ethernet adapters and such: now my wife's laptop and my big desktop pull the full ~940mbps down. 90mb/s from Steam and other download sources; it's faster than a Sata-III hard drive, it's faster than some old Sata SSDs we have. The bottleneck is now always slow download servers... what do we even do with all this speed?
