  • I WFH for a company where we’re regularly moving files and packages in the 100s of GBs. I’m already on 2.5Gb and and I still ahev to wait 10-20 minutes at times. I also share a connection with my wife who is a CAD designer and 3D Space modeler for an architect who also works from home who also has similar upload & download times for some of her work.

    That’s just us. There’s plenty of other professionals out there that work with large files between teams either as a job or hobby from home.

    10Gb has a market for home users. It may be limited at this time, but it’s there.



  • Rubber begins to degrade after 3-7 years depending on the compounds. Even if stored in ideal conditions to slow the degrading, you’re only going to give it marginally more life.

    Degraded tires risk side-wall blow outs and let will easily let through sharp debris (sticks, thorns, glass, sharp rocks) causing far more maintenance needs.

    That’s not to say bikes aren’t beneficial and there’s ways to get around this (stuff the tire with leaves, foam core [also has limited life span], etc), but it is something to be aware of.

    This all reminds me… I need to replace the tires on my good weather bike.
