All the way from Finland and you still get downloads from Houston about 30 times faster than me.

Mipok, what in the HELL is that connection?  That has to be close to an 800megabit/s service to be getting 102 megaBYTES download speed.  University connection or something?

I'm insanely jealous of that.  The 250mbit I'm getting next week will MAYBE max out at 25mbytes down, and you've getting 4 times that.  Crazy.

Nothing special, basic cable broadband connection. 110/10. Modem is Cisco EPC3825 EuroDocsis 3.0 Gateway.

You are still 10 times faster.  I really am not complaining.  It is what is.  If I was not so hard-headed about AT&T raping me with their pricing, I could have faster Internet.

There was a time when I thought it would be neat to have a high speed connection, but I use the Internet so little it makes no sense to fork over big bucks for something I use so infrequently.  I probably average an hour, or less, a week on the Internet when I am at home.  Most of that time is spent scanning our bulletin board.

I really do not feel like I am missing anything.  I'd rather be out cruising with hot rodders than sitting behind a monitor.
