it's not like there was definitive a pre and post optical cable world.

Your internet would be super slow without it

besides it's an improvement over existing tech

Yes there was you fucking mong.

Jesus, the amount of data that transfered, and for a fraction of the cost, allowed science to coordinate and experiment on a level never seen before.

@Ironronin is too dumb to even comprehend it lol<:okayboomer:659819791548284938>

Too young.

Oh he is young

Modems baby

Poor him

at least I'm not an African

Africans are better than dutch

man imagine living in a country that never managed to establish an empire

Otherwise the Dutch would not move all the way to south africa just to get slaughtered

Fiber isnt avaiable in my region

nah we tested that a few hundred years ago
some of you guys are still talking Dutch

fucking rip

> man imagine living in a country that never managed to establish an empire
@Ronin
The netherlands

South Africa
Indonesian
Suriname
the Benedewindse Eilanden
New Guinea

those were all part of an empire

my internet is 100mbps down and 5mbps up

sucks man

That fell by africans

Wasn't an empire

it fell beause the Anglos kicked us out

You guys were just farmers

and then it fell again because of how nice the Anglos were

An empire of farmers looool

Imagine surrendering to Hitler after 1 bombing.

and now it's the rape capital of the world

Farming tools cannot protect you from missles

I think it took a little under a week

the fall of the netherlands had to do with the idiots in defense that didn't see another war coming

they pawned off the army

That would be the Dutch.

and then they fielded old cannons from the Napoleonic war against the Germans

as of now we pawned everything off again because we use americans as attack dogs in case things go south

Poland fought them with swords and horses.
