I just got a new modem and it quintupled my internet speed and now I feel like I have a super power I don't know what to do with.
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?
what do we even do with all this speed?
get high af
Time to pirate all the things
This is why i now have very big hard drives filled with every iso imaginable. Will i ever play them? Probably not but the library is big and thats all that matters
Man was not meant to have this kind of power. Unplug and repent!
Furry porn obvs
your doomscrolling will be so smooth now

Download the entire internet.
Hell yeah you luv 2 c it. For some reason with the same modem, my old laptop would get 20-30MBPS down, but this newer laptop I got over the past summer gets about that speed
Likely your old laptop had older networking hardware than the router or access point.
Thats what my thought was
better ethernet port? or old laptop could only connect to an older, shitter wifi standard?
Same 5ghz network, just a newer laptop (by a few years)
You could torrent (and seed) a hell of a lot of Linux isos!
it's usenet time
I genuinely could not possibly be more envious 😭
We can only get DSL here, and our modem-router won't keep a stable WAN connection because it is old and shitty. I'm waiting for frontier to bring me a new one because I can't find an aftermarket one for DSL, everything is for fucking fiber and cable 😤😭
oh and when I opened their shitty fucking app to get help, I saw that my bill will be going up $10 effective next week, and they're now offering a subscription to premium tech support for an additional $10/mo, so I'm pretty confident none of this will ever improve
Set up smart queues to eliminate buffer bloat (if the new router has that option), and it will legitimately feel unreal when websites load instantly and online gaming and ping are unaffected while other people are using the internet.
Me happy to get 7 MB/s on a good day:
wow I'm so close to your speedsWhy are you on here and not just straight up jerking it?
