In 2003, I was chatting with a schoolmate and I sent him a file. It arrived instantly.

Him: Oh my God, that was fast

Me: I know. I have super fast internet.

Him: Ha, what's your internet speed?

Me: 3 MBps.

Him: That's literally not even possible.

I was kidding of course, it must have been a fluke or the stars were aligned just right. We were both on Dial up. So yeah, my slow 100 Mb/s internet at home today is plenty fast. I wouldn't even know what to do with a Tb/s.
