That’s 25Gbit _symmetrical_ – upload _and_ download. On a dedicated connection that’s yours and yours alone. From multiple providers. And you can switch providers with the click of a mouse. It’s the _ne plus ultra_ , _magnifico_ , _wunderschön_ :\n>>\n>> https://www.init7.net/de/internet/fiber7/\n>>\n>> In a fascinating blog post, Stefan Schüller unpacks how this came to pass, in Switzerland, a country known for its impassable mountains and its impossible national telco (Swisscom):\n>>\n>> https://sschueller.github.io/posts/the-free-market-lie/\n>>\n>> Schüller describes the Swiss system as a kind of Goldilocks approach that’s midway between two failed systems: the American “free market” system and the German state provision system.\n>>\n>> Most people in the US can’t get fiber at all, and if you can get it, it’s probably 1Gbit, and available from a single provider (that’s nearly my situation in Los Angeles, where I can buy 2Gbit symmetrical fiber from AT&T, who run a shared connection on old Worldcom fiber they’ve lit up). Some (very foolish) people say that Starlink represents a competitive alternative to fiber. This is nonsense – first, because Starlink is another natural monopoly (how many competing satellite constellations can we cram into stable orbits before they start smashing into each other?), and second, because satellite is _millions of times slower_ than fiber:\n>>\n>> https://www.somebits.com/weblog/tech/bad/starlink-nov-2022-data-caps.html\n>>\n>> In Germany, most people also have a single fiber provider, and the connection they get is shared, and caps out at 1-2Gbit.\n>>\n>> Meanwhile, the Swiss can get connections that are _far_ faster, and cheaper. How did they do it?\n>>\n>> Keep reading\n>\n> teljesen off, de ez a Goldilock, ami az angolszász világban híres alapmese, rengetegszer előkerül mint fogalom, az számomra teljesen ismeretlen volt, szerintem magyarban ez egyáltalán nem olyan alap, mint a Csipkerózsika meg a Hamupipőke\n\nEsélyesen azért, mert a Goldilocks nem szerepelt a Grimm gyűjteményben (mivel pár ével később is íródott), a másik kettő meg igen\n\n(a Rumpelstiltskin mondjuk pont volt a Grimm sztorikban és az se nagyon ismert magyarul)",
