    Pfft, I used to get 10/1 that would barely work. 5G internet started to become popular and have been on that ever since, a game changer from a 10/1 that worked 80% of the time.

    yeah we had ADSL sitting at a steady 15/5 up until about 2014 or something when we finally got to move to Hybrid Fibre Coxial and got 100/100 for the first time in our lives, then the NBN came along..

    created work order? got the chicken?

    no work order needed because my based providers see me yapping in a megathread about trying to get an iGPU working and reach out to me an hour later to ask if i got it working

    You big big beans.... why you want iGPU? running llm? crypto mining? :joy:

    emby/jellyfin encoding

    ohhhh, wait you don't do that at home?.............. seriously?

    not for friends and family, australian upload speed sux dix i don't need someone maxing out my bandwidth because they want to watch something on my emby library

    it makes sense now.... i wouldn't host one either with my current speeds, might do it if upgraded to 300mbps or more symlink.

    yeah i have 250 down 25 up its not great

    25up is too low..... it should be atleast half of the downlink if not symmetrical.

    yeah unfortunately i got no control over it unless i go to $300+ per month business fiber link which costs an extra $5000 on my end for them to run the fiber

    they can easily support it, we used to have 100/100 on the same HFC technology before we were forced to move to an NBN plan and it dropped to 100/10, later on they opened up more plans 250/25 and 1000/50 but still nothing with sustainable upload at a reasonable price

    Sed the Internet connection i m using cost me $10 for symlink 100mbps, it's not the best, overused, 95%-98% uptime, but it's cheap and unmetered. Might be upgrading to something better later on, but if the upgrade comes without better upload speed i will just revert to current one.

    yeah thats a nice price for the speed/bandwidth
    we get 'unmetered' on all our plans here but at closer to $60-$170 AUD per month depending on the speed

    25$ can get me 1gbps/1gbps for consumer here, tho there is commitment contract for like 1-2 years i think, depends on provider
