Prior to Quantum coming into the area, I was on Centurylink bonded vDSL. I got 140/25. The only reason I took that over the cox gigablast was because of the lack of data-cap. Higher speeds are useless if I can't use that speed all the time. The vdsl was more useful at the slower speeds because I could max that lower speed out 24/7 for the whole month if I needed to. 140 at full bore was way more than the 1.2TB cap on coax... (Cox is 1.28TB cap, which you can hit in about 3 hours at full speed... The fuck is the point?)
Though since then... I've definitely grown into using much more bandwidth than I used to.
I remember 10mbit thinnet though. Hope you didn't lose the termination plugs. Connecting more than 2 computers together was awesome. The IPX lan games started nearly immediately. We definitely have come a long way. While 8/8 is definitely not needed for 99% of people out there... the tired bullshit of 100/20mbps that most people seem to purchase and not even get is definitely not good enough.
