The Internet

[Monkeh]

Well mine's fibre-optics. Just shows that everything goes wrong sooner or later.

what directly to your house??
coz round here they have been replacing all the big green boxes with fibre,but its still copper to your house.

Yes of course it's copper for the latter part of its 'journey'. Then it's copper from the junction box to my router. Then it gets all fancy and travels through the ether!

So the difference is that the transition to fibre is a little closer to your house.

It's not fibre, it's just VDSL.

The internet achieves nothing that could not be achived without it.

I can get any music, TV show, film, or book I want within seconds. Find me a way to do that without the internet.

What the internet giveth the internet taketh away?
When did people last watch a live band or touch real flesh?
