   It has come to my attention that some people think they need 5 gigabit fibre internet.

   I am delighted to inform them that they do not. Stop wasting your money on bandwidth you can’t even fucking use, muppets.

   You see your 4K smart TV what streams Netflix in Dolby ear destroyer 4K HDR supervision? It’s got a 100 megabit Ethernet port on it. Bet you.

   You don’t fucking need 5 gigabits. Nobody does unless they’re running fucking Amazon from their front room or something.

     This is the sort of bullshit that has people over the age of 40 buying 8K tvs when they can’t even resolve 720p anymore with their middle aged eyeballs.

     Netflix: Hi! You, middle aged people most positioned to have disposable income for premium products: we will charge you extra for 4K.

     CAN’T FUCKING SEE 4K, YOU DAFT BUGGERS.

     @goatsarah but if I own fifty 4K smart TVs, one on every wall of my home, with ear destroying Dolby all on at the same time so I can't tell wtf is happening in any of them THEN do I get 5Gb Fibre!? 😝

     @goatsarah And if I get close enough so I can, the only thing I get from it is the fact movie stars have pores, or are visibly wearing layers of makeup.

     Who asked for this confrontational monstrosity?!?

     @goatsarah 😂 It would be a great way to binge long TV series. One episode of Star Trek TNG on each TV, I'd cut down viewing time from 3
     months to 3 days! 😂 👽

     @goatsarah besides, would much prefer high quality 720 to the over-compressed mess that is 4k from some of these services. The hideous artifacts around bright motion have ruined light sabers!!

     @Anibyl I’m running an entire fediverse server on 500/100 and it barely notices.

     And a VPS is a damn site cheaper than wiring your house up with 10 gig switches that you’d need to even take advantage of such a connection.

     It’s absurd.

     @goatsarah Some people need high speeds because they're sharing/uploading content. For instance, I have a 750 Mbit/s plan. I don't need 750, but it's the cheapest plan that has 100 Mbit/s upload.

     and unlike me, some folks share a lot of content via torrents, so i imagine they would be intetested in 5 Gbit/s

     @goatsarah It’s the modern hifi nerdery, which largely featured the over-40s arguing about things they couldn’t hear.
