You wouldn't be able to peddle the dynamo quick enough nevermind keep the lighting and computer on at the same time :)

Not forgetting here in the UK is you home wired up with fiber optics? I bet the chances are no. Lots of speed to the junction box then all change for the slow lane to you.

Depends on whether you have the latest/fastest router.

I have Google's own Fiber network installed at my house, and this is on my desktop which has a 10/100 MB/s transfer rate. My other computer has a 10/100/1000 MB/s speed and my downloads are literally a gigabyte a second.

Lucky you.

You lucky, lucky man. I wish google fiber would expand so I can ditch my benevolent overlord, Comcast.

The only reason I stay with Telus is because of the mobility feature I have with this stick. I can use it all over Canada with no roaming charges. For us out here in the boonies Telus is the best choice.
Rogers and Bell just don't cut it. Rogers doesn't work at the house and Bell didn't bring their fiber optics line down close enough for me.:(

I suppose you have to make do with what you've got...we're probably a tad spoilt for choice on my little island.

That is what I keep telling them at work. I do the best I can with what I have to work with.

Funny thing is the buggas never seem to listen or take any notice :hmmm:

That would be all well and good if that little old government agency known as the FCC wasn't already a monopoly top loaded with people from another monopoly. Forget divide and conquer when you can infiltrate and usurp cheaper and still get paid to do it.
The government is a great big monster made up of many little monsters and the people we think we elect to tame the monsters are NOT monster tamers at all. They are monster enablers.:stare:
Write to your elected reps about a problem with one of these agencies and all you'll get in return is a nice form letter apologetically informing you that they have no authority to meddle in the affairs of a government agency. Posting to the FCC website will prove just as futile since the FCC is now loaded with industry insiders who won't get paid by the monopolies that put them there if they do anything to rock the money barge on the Potomac.

This is what happens...
