+summary: "We got fiber at home!"
+---
+
+I remember six-seven years ago when I moved back home from my experience in
+Dublin dreaming about my house receiving fiber internet! Back then I think my
+house didn't even have 100Mb, it was probably 20Mb and Docker images were not
+that nice to use. Somehow I managed to be a Docker Captain anyway, so I bet
+Docker Hub was pretty good.
+
+Anyway a few weeks ago I called my provider to help me out with an outage that
+we solved rebooting a few times the router and then they asked me if I was ok
+having them coming to replace my cable for free with a fiber one.
+
+Just now that I didn't feel the need for it anymore! Internet was good enough
+for my use but how can you say no, and here I am! Writing a markdown file and
+publishing it with 1Gb symmetrical internet. I think I can get even more
+than 1Gb but I will need to wait for consumer hardware to catch up.
+
+A few months ago I bought a repurpose 16 ports PoE ethernet switch with 1Gb per
+port because I thought "fiber will never be a thing here". I have also noticed
+that my old tp-link 5 ports switch I have on my desk has 100Mb limit per port.
+
+I am not sure if it will end up taking dust in my ewaste cabinet or not.
+
+That said, if you see myself moving quickly or looking great on camera now you
+know why.
