        This really needs an update for each carrier to transport multiple packets at once.
        Based on RFC2549 it seems each carrier can transport up to 10g. That’s roughly 40 MicroSD cards. The current largest MicroSD cards are 2TB, so that’s 80TB/carrier. It seems the smallest response time is 3,000s.
        That means the theoretical top transfer rate could be roughly 213Gbps.

        Edit: Although it seems the carriers could do as much as 75g. That’s 300 MicroSD cards or 600TB. At 5km that makes 1.6Tbps!

        IPoD actually has really high throughput.

        According to wikipedia Carrier pigeons typically travel ~1000km at ~100km/h and can carry 75g comfortably. a microsd card weighs about 0.5g and we have 1Tb ones now so our pigeon could carry about 150Tb per trip (sidenote that’ll cost ~20K so packet loss would really suck) . that’s an impressive 33Gb/s at the 1000km range. the 30million ms ping might be annoying though.

        relevant XKCD

      That’s only a bit better than “You have been disconnected from the server-network unavailable” 😔

    Home connection is advertised at 1Gbps, but tests at more like 100Mbps. It’s around 65USD/month. This is a good deal for Canada, and probably only possible because it’s attached to a much more expensive cable and phone plan.

    Edit: Or 1,000,000,000,000 millibits/second per the title, haha.

    800/250

    My promo deal is about to end but I’ve been paying $50/month for it for 2 years now.

        I live in Norway. Internet is pretty cheap here where there’s new development because they add so much fibre when they construct new blocks.

          Now my 1000/1000 for 429 SEK (about 40$) doesn’t sound as good. At least the candy is cheaper here in Sweden.

    500mbps at £35 per month with the first 3 months free. In the UK and not the first time with provider. Took me an hour of haggling on the phone, the trick was to pretend I found a better deal elsewhere but wished to stick with my provider.

    34230000000mbps (mili bits per second)(I love SI units) down and 17080000000mbps up

    The reliability is horrendous. Pings vary from 200 to few thousand. Sometimes speeds drop below 1Mbps. Double CGNAT. I think my internet is provided by someone in their garage with 15y old equipement over the air.

    93mbps, Germany. I could go up to 250mbps but it probably wouldn’t work with the copper wires and require a new Fritzbox router.
