From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah, I also moved from 30Mb upload to 700Mb recently and it's just insane. It's also insane thinking I had a symmetric gigabit connection in Eastern Europe in the 2000s for fairly cheap. It was Ethernet though, not fiber. Patch cables and switches all the way to the central office. 🫠
Most people in Canada today have 50Mb upload at the most expensive connection tiers - on DOCSIS 3.x. Only over the last few years fiber began becoming more common but it's still fairly uncommon as it's the most expensive connection tier if at all available.
We might pay some of the most expensive internet in the world in Canada but at least we can't fault them for providing an unstable or unperformqnt service. Download llama models is where 1gbps really shines, you see a 7GB model? It's done before you are even back from the toilet. Crazy times.
I should have know that the person on the internet noting 30Mbps was pretty good till recently is a fellow Canadian. 🍁 #ROBeLUS
BTW, TekSavvy recently started offering fiber seemingly on Bell's last mile.
