alt Hacker NewsIn London in many apartment blocks one can only get wired internet via an old copper cable with speeds like 80mbit/s download in theory but in practice it can be below 30 with ping in 50ms range and much slower upload. And 5g does not help either as the signal can be very weak.

Okay so that's no excuse for whoever is providing your internet, coax can deliver 800+ Mbps no problem. And if you are actually saying you only get DSL through a phone line in London then holy shit I would be busting down the door of my landlord. They never in the last half a century got wired for cable?!
