Old me would’ve been all about such a nice upgrade, but now that I’ve been upgraded to 1G/1G Google Fiber in the first place earlier this year, I’m just happy to have that.
Even with more equipment besides that which they provide upgraded, it would be hard to notice a difference most of the time and wouldn’t be worth the extra $55 a month. It is nice knowing it’s an option in case I outgrow 1 Gbps. My current fileserver when I do a zfs send command piped into xz with -9 compression to send to backblaze b2, is still a little slower than 300 Mbps.
There was also the forgotten format, D-VHS which was a specialized VHS tape tape which the recordings could be at 720p or 1080i resolutions. Or the same resolution as DVD but at a higher bitrate so there are less noticeable digital compression artifacts than DVD. The introduction of HD-DVD and Blu-ray disc formats kept the D-VHS format from ever becoming widely adopted.
I’ll give it a photo of myself from 10 years ago so that my coworkers don’t realize that I’m getting old.
