[X2Go-User] Semi-Offtopic: The sorry state of Landline and Mobile Internet in Germany

[James M. Pulver]

Trying again to send to list. I kind of wish default reply was reply to list, I end up sending just to one user...

And to talk about the US - it varies wildly. We're in the southerntier / fingerlakes in NY and we can see anything from a fiber connection (that still tops out at 250/25 for some insane reason) to LTE at around 8Mbits/.75mbit to Cable that's all cable can be to DSL that's basically dial up because Frontier is bankrupt and never upgraded anything since 2004 to satellite that is who knows what, to people who have no internet options.

The idea that everyone has or is likely to have 25mbit symmetrical Internet or better isn't true in "first world nations" forget about generally anywhere in the world. If we didn't care about limited network performance, I can't see why everyone wouldn't just use VNC... The performance is just not there with "just stream video of the screen" technologies.

This one is, of course, missing the decimal. 2.625.  Not 2625.  Though
that would be lovely.
