This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Instant gratification has rotted y'all's brains. A stable 25 down is not just survivable but cromulent. I'm on 100 down 40 up and can't imagine how having a gigabit connection would make my experience any better when the bottlenecks are generally upstream of the ISP.

Nah, fuck off with that shit. I wanna download a modern game in less than 3 hours, thank you very much

My 500 both ways has yet to hit a bottleneck when it comes to large downloads, and has saved me hours upon hours of time since I got upgraded from 100. You have no idea what youre on about

100% this. Latency is far more important than bandwidth for most things and I'd much rather have a 50/20 FTTP service than a 300/100 cable or DSL line.
