It's a lot better than Australian internet. I'm getting 20-50mbps

I can ONLY get 1gbit, where i live. (Denmark)

Denmark is also around 1/200th of the size of the us.

I had 2Mbps (yes, bits, not bytes) until 2020. Then I moved out. Pretty sure that my parents house still only gets that same speed. And this is in fucking Germany, a pretty densely populated country.

I'm sure I'd get a faster speed than that in a piece of string.

Honestly that sounds like the cable was damaged, was that really the actual target speed?

That sucks too...

Wow I had that in 2008. Damn that sucks. You can't even stream 4K HDR video.
