I remember when we got a new deal with the ISP for my condo building (negotiate one deal for x amount of condos) and I could choose to have no TV channels but get gigabit for the same price.

It took about 2 weeks from when I got the gigabit before they called me asking for when a bit of downtime would be OK, as they needed to move me to a different switch at the node because I was consuming more bandwidth than the remaining 23 people connected combined, and it was messing with their QoS as they hadn't planned for someone actually using their gigabit line lol

Great ISP though, sad they shut down their Usenet servers a couple years ago..

I miss the days of ISPs providing Usenet access.
