I'm in Los Angeles. My downstream is half using this tool compared to the one built into Google.

That's reasonable, actually pretty impressive for talking to Amsterdam

It's hard to really comprehend how amazing it is that I can talk to Europe at 200M/s over WiFi from my personal apartment on my smartphone while lying in bed in Los Angeles, and pay a flat rate that works out to about $2.25/day for the privilege.

It's just absurd. It's pretty easy to forget how much of a future world we live in
