I remember as a young kid (11ish) I lived in Rochester, NY, which was one of the first areas to get cable modems. I pleaded the case to my parents and we cancelled the extra phone line we used for the modem and payed the extra $20 towards a cable modem.

This was one of the few moments in my life that felt like ‘the future’ was arriving (the other around this time was my voodoo2 gpu running unreal). A year or so later we moved to Columbus which didn’t have high speed available yet.

What’s the quote, the future is already here it’s just not evenly distributed?

Incidentally I now live in Toledo and my internet is probably about the same speed as it was 25+ years ago… sigh

I work with a dev from Toledo, a couple weeks ago they ripped up his back yard to put fiber in. Help is on the way :)

But yes, at the moment his speed sucks.
