Your ping is kinda slow at 10ms, but how fast is your pong?

You can't get anything like that in Canada for anything less than a kidney. Just sayin'.

The more I see people with download/upload speeds like that, the more I realize that using carrier pigeons would be an upgrade for me. My requests to consider changing providers have been denied so far. 
 
This post will probably finish uploading in another 8 years and you'll wonder what I'm talking about.
