I think Ultilearn’s problem is that it is only one server, trying to support 40000 users… Putting it on a faster connection wouldn’t help with that!

sshhhhhhhh.
Will RAFAC learn be any different?
From a server architecture point of view?
Serious question
and characters
That’s still pretty good. The internet I have here at work is pretty shoddy. Thankfully there’s good 4g on my phone for browsing the forums and reddit while working 
And there’s me living in the middle of nowhere with the most intermittent Internet ever that’s its more reliable to tether of my work phone and use 4g when working from home
Also don’t get anything on just eat/deliveroo/uber ears
I guess that’s basically just one of the standard business fibre packages. I’m probably pretty lucky with where I work 
Yep, standard 80/20 line coming in, but shared by 6 or so people. It’s lunch at the moment so I know everyone else will be on their phones watching god-knows-what killing the speed!

I live in an urban area and my actual home internet is awful - Virgin Media have a monopoly on fibre (so they make it expensive), and the cabinet on my street (literally outside my front door) is only rated for 1 Mbps upload, but I don’t get any more than 0.4…

my boss gives talks about the internet in its broadest sense, and normally starts it by saying:
whatever your teenagers tell you, the internet was not invented for cat videos and porn

We sacked off our phone line in September last year. 0.5 Mpbs wasn’t enough to do anything - let alone work from home! Our 4G was consistently faster than our alleged “broadband” connection. So we invested in a 4G router and a Smarty unlimited data SIM at £20 per month.
The only issue we’ve had is when Three network went down for 3 hours a few months back. Which is still significantly better than the broadband dropping out when each time it rained and the telephone exchange flooded.
I’m currently running at 9.9Mpbs an 5Mpbs upload - but currently on the router is my work laptop, Mrs BFs laptop and phone, plus our streaming internet radio player thing.
If only we could get 5G here…

See I’m the opposite at home! I get basically no mobile signal living in the middle of nowhere, but they ran fibre out a couple of years ago so I get a solid 80/20 at home 
Thankfully three does wi-fi calling so I can text/call while connected to wi-fi.
But still no FTTP. I want that sweet sweet 500/500 line!
Classic.
hello? Oh hello, 2004, yes, I know that too, but I’ll tell him that most people use WhatsApp now
By text I mostly mean receive texts for 2FA stuff.
