A New Campground WiFi Record
>200 Mbps download speed . . . yesterday afternoon it was only hovering around 100 Mbps. Anyone else seeing speeds like these?

I'm old school I guess. I used to listen to radio plays from BBC at 1/4 dial up speeds on an analog cell phone. That's no longer possible.
And oh by the way--it was unlimited data and never throttled!
About 30 years ago I wrote a "cutting edge" terminal program for my Commodore 64. (All in 6502 machine language no less.) It became quite popular for accessing all the online Bulletin Boards (think Text-Based Internet) of the era . .
The max speed back then was 1200 baud (1.2 kbps). When I got the first ISDN connection in our block at 64 kbps, it was superb! But that was then.
Once in a while I do get nostalgic for those times (414 was my area code too), but in no way is the pull to the past strong enough for me to want slow or slower Internet speeds.
Been there, really been there . . . once was enough, Don.
On the other hand, the C64 is coming back.
