Sounds like an access line issue with DSL (lol)

DSL is so old you can't even order it in Sweden anymore.

Also, the post above would be a core issue not access.

Excuse me, I remember when DSL was the latest and greatest, it can't possibly be this old. :')

  • That would be ~25 years ago. I remember getting my first ADSL connection around 2000 in the Netherlands when that stuff was still very new.

    • KPN MXstream! Thanks for making me feel old. I got flashbacks of spending multiple evenings configuring PPTP in Linux without being able to access the internet just to get internet access.

      I remember having to walk to a buddies home just to check the tutorial:

  • I mean yes me too, but that was in 2005. I feel like "everyone" got fibre here 10 years ago and if not there is 4/5G mobile broadband.
