   i always thought fast ethernet is some industrial high speed version but it is worse than gigabit and just ,, meh. it is the same shit like usb full speed, high speed, super speed, eventually you run out of superlatives as your shiny new tech becomes obsolete

     @piggo my first LAN had an 8-port switch that had 2 LEDs for each port: green for link, and amber to indicate speed.

     Amber LED on = 100Mbit/s
     Amber LED off = 10Mbit/s

     100Mbit was fast back then.

     Both were faster than my internet connection
