Thought that said mB/s but that's kB/s... that's unfortunate

Replying tokalucky0:iritat:
oof
kalucky0Team17:38
I'm so annoyed
nailuj17:39
you should contact your isp
kalucky0Team17:41
They say that it's a great internet
Top speed
Jack PapelTeam17:41
Strongest internet in poland
kalucky0Team17:41
And they tell me to make a speedtest on their website
And then my internet is magically 20x faster
nailuj17:42
kalucky0Team17:43
What's that?
It's not loading
Jack PapelTeam17:44
A speedtest he did
He got download 80mB/s and upload 60mB/s
kalucky0Team17:45
🏎️💨
Jack PapelTeam17:45
Replying tokalucky0And then my internet is magically 20x faster
20 x 7.29 kB/s is still really slow
kalucky0Team17:46
We normally it's 500kB/s
Jack PapelTeam17:46
Oh gotcha
kalucky0Team17:46
It's been just really slow for past 2 days
Jack PapelTeam17:47
That's odd
Reports I'm looking at online say that 25mB/s is "a good average internet speed"
So 500kB/s sounds like a ripoff
kalucky0Team17:48
Sometimes I have to download several GB
Once I had to download 120GB
Jack PapelTeam17:48
Wow
at max 250 seconds per gig that's quite a while(edited)
kalucky0Team17:50
The worst time is when I have to upload a project to my client's server
Whole day of upload
I can't use internet
And I just sit
And wait
Jack PapelTeam17:51
Well
That's really something
Do you have internet cafes or libraries with internet that's faster you can use?
kalucky0Team17:53
Only libraries but a) their speed is only slightly better b) they won't let me sit there for a whole day c) their computers remember 90s(edited)
Jack PapelTeam17:53
Ah
kalucky0Team17:54
I just can't wait to move out to the capital
nailuj17:55
Replying toJack PapelReports I'm looking at online say that 25mB/s is "a good average internet speed"
its pretty meh in my area
Jack PapelTeam17:56
Oh yeah same in mine
I live in a big city, I was just going based on what google said
nailuj17:56
i live near a city
Jack PapelTeam17:56
I live in a city and near a city :)
kalucky0Team17:57
Population of my city is 51k
nailuj17:57
Replying tokalucky0Population of my city is 51k
8m for the city near me
kalucky0Team17:57
Oh fuck
nailuj17:57
nyc
Jack PapelTeam17:58
65k in my city and 725k for the city near me
Though it's a very techy area
8 million that's quite a lot
kalucky0Team17:59
Can u guys check how many ppl live in Warsaw?
Google is not loading :C(edited)
Jack PapelTeam17:59
1.7mil
kalucky0Team17:59
Biggest city in Poland lol
Jack PapelTeam18:00
Larger than the biggest city in Washington(edited)
Honestly I didn't even know that seattle was so unpopulated
I mean obviously 700k is a lot but I thought it'd be a mil at least
kalucky0Team18:01
I'm getting lost in every city that is 90k+
Jack PapelTeam18:02
I've been to new York and it's surprisingly easy to navigate
I suppose it helps that it's a grid
kalucky0Team18:03
I don't think there is a single grid city in Poland
Jack PapelTeam18:03
Not sure there's a single grid city in europe
kalucky0Team18:03
Barcelona (?)
Kind of
Paris is also kind of in a regular shape
Jack PapelTeam18:04
Oh yeah
I don't know much about European cities, that was just a guess
K
kalucky0Team18:04
Take a look at my city's layout and you gonna cry lol
18:05
```
Ostrołęka, Mazowsze, Poland
```
Jack PapelTeam18:06
Oh that's very all over the place
nailuj18:07
Replying toJack PapelI've been to new York and it's surprisingly easy to navigate
yes
kalucky0Team18:08
The way it works is: 1. A company / individual buys a plot(s) 2. Builds whatever in whatever shape without considering surroundings 3. City builds roads 4. Messy layout 5. Not stonks(edited)
My dyslexia is kicking in
Jack PapelTeam18:10
Yeah that's the way it is on the east coast over here
Except for NYC I guess
On the west coast too actually
The interior is where most of the grid like action appears
kalucky0Team18:13
I saw some documents where whole US is covered in grid roads
But it seems their plans a) were shit b) didn't work
Jack PapelTeam18:15
I was looking for what you were talking about and came across this funny image(edited)
Ah yes, the United States
kalucky0Team18:17
How
Jack PapelTeam18:18
It's like if the U.S. highway system was a terrible tube map
kalucky0Team18:18
Country wide metro system
I want that
nailuj18:18
the interstate system is quite understandable if you know what you're looking at
lemme find a good disgram
Jack PapelTeam18:19
They're thinking about it up at the federal govt
The horizontal roads are numbered nicely for sure
Oh and the vertical ones too
nailuj18:19
Jack PapelTeam18:19
The odd numbers always go N<->S and the evens go E<->W(edited)
nailuj18:20
for 1 and 2 digit highways
3 digits: if the first digit is odd, it connects to the last 2 digits highway in one place
if its not, it connects twice
Jack PapelTeam18:21
That's nice
kalucky0Team18:21
I have no idea how it works in Poland
First two letters just mean what kind of road this is
DK, DW, A etc
DK - Droga Krajowa - Country Roads take me home, to the place I belong
A - Autostrada - Highway
DW - Droga Wojewódzka - Voivodeship Road
There are probably other I don't know about
Jack PapelTeam18:24
It doesn't seem like there's a numbering scheme
K
kalucky0Team18:25
Pseudorandom roads
- 😂1
Jack PapelTeam18:25
I suppose it's probably not necessary for such a small country
kalucky0Team18:25
It's still too big for the government
Jack PapelTeam18:26
More local govt is based
In the US too much stuff is federal, should be handled by the states
Like drinking age and prohibited drugs
kalucky0Team18:27
I will show you what happens when there are local govs that don't cooperate
But not now
I need to take a pic
Jack PapelTeam18:27
Gotcha
