    Yay for fibre!

    I can hardly imagine the last few decades without it.

    Reading horror stories on the internet about downloading games for a day feels like reading about a starving village without roads.

    Same with GSM data (we had GPRS, UMTS, etc about when they came out). Or the price of an SMS in late 90s/early 2000. Imagine not having unlimited SMS as a teen.

    It’s wild that rich, developed countries lacked basic infrastructure, and then they overpaid sooo much for it.
