Yeah, this person is either a LinkedIn recruiter, or works directly for them. Their post history is entirely “OMGZ LonkedOn Hax!”

Have you looked into a local WISP, (Wireless ISP) they use different tech then cellular (usually) and specialize in rural areas. Should be able to get you in the 15-25 MBPS range.

The accounting subdirectory on the Cuisinart is working really hard.
We've got one person online, but the workload is enough for, like, 10 users.
I think we've got a hacker.

I like that.
I brush my teeth after eating lunch at work too. I’m self conscious when I do it but I do it

Exactly. Relationship tips in LPT are never truly good as they never consider every possibility as that's impossible.

Until the spoken language and the subtitles are entirely different!! I’ve tried this and the worlds are always changed, likely due to space on screen?

Reply to LPT: If your friend owes you money and is paying in "installments", don't expect to recieve the final installment. by [deleted]
My rule is...don't loan money you can't afford to not get back. If I have money and someone needs it, I will give it with no expectation that I will get paid back. If I do, then im pleasantly surprised, if I dont, then I consider it a gift so I dont ruin relationships with family or friends

LPT: Friendships and loans do not survive. If you have it to give, give it as a gift and do not ask for repayment. Otherwise, resentment will build.

Lucky you! I just built a small tower on my garage to get a cellular signal on my new antennas so that I can get off of "Verizon Enhanced High Speed DSL" 1.3Mbps speeds (actually more like ~0.8Mbps with 38 service calls in 6 months to fix it) where I basically couldn't use the internet half the day, every day. This is the only service available to me, and I got a lawyer involved before they would even hook me up. No other option. Except Armstrong cable, who I offered 25k to to come the last 1/4 mile. They said no, and when I said "then name your price", they also said no.
Good advice, but unfortunately many in the USA do not have access to these services. And ALL of those people should be complaining heavily, as these ISPs continue to take tax breaks and taxpayer money and don't do shit for us.
Can you guys just take the 1Gbps, and send whatever leftover broadband you have our way?

As a non native English speaker with access to Google, I feel the need to tell you that splatter is also a word that works in this context.
Splatter: a spot or trail of a thick or viscous liquid splashed over a surface or object.
"each puddle we crossed threw a splatter of mud on the windshield"

Also remember that past about 150mbps you are not going to utilize those speeds unless you have several devices pulling data at once, like multiable TVs streaming 4k content When I worked at an ISP my desktop had a full 10Gbps connection to the internet (for testing), and user experience was not any different than the 100Mbps I had at home. Most services will not serve you data at more than a few megabits a second, even big cloud services.

This is the reason why there are TONS of posts on /r/antiwork about people complaining they weren't hired.
An asshole with a massive CV will still be an asshole. In most other cases, people can be trained.

It's not about having a single device that can use the speed, it's about having a bunch of devices. Maybe none of the devices can use that speed, but when you add up phones, tablets, desktops, laptops, washer, dryer, microwave, fridge, toaster, whatever all connecting to the internet at the same time, you could get closer to that limit than you could with one device.
However, I do agree that gig is way overkill for most households. Even 100mbs would likely be sufficient for most households.

speed calculations can be a bit funky based on a lot of factors. you also have to think about what the servers on the other end can provide, it's usually not as fast as you would think.
