   i am downloading from the internet at 200 megabytes per second.

   my first fast connection, i could download at almost 70 kilobytes per second (almost half a megabit) and it blew my mind.

     @paoloredaelli the connection before my first fast (1Mbps) connection was a 33.6k modem. I remember being jazzed that I could download at 3kB/sec when I upgraded to it.

     For an arbitrary definition of "fast". 😅 Older people would have considered 33k6 #modem "fast". 200MBps were absolutely #scifi for them 😜
