  1. Yeah it’s amazing how telecommunications in Poland have developed over the years. I live in the countryside in the middle of nowhere and have gigabit fibre optic internet haha

  2. Funny enough we now have superb technology compared to USA mostly because we started late.

  3. How far Poland progressed in the past 30 years is close to a miracle.

  4. My fam’s 1 gig I am on now is 150 mbps down and 50 up. I’m on a 2.4 GHz wifi router so not bad. No problems with Netflix movies.

  5. We got one of first landlines in a bloc (i don’t remember exact phone number, but it was very short, a few digits (I remember they added „5” in front of our number a few years later), not like we have today), just because my mother was a doctor, and was put on „priority” queue, in case of emergency. Normal waiting time for installation of phone line was like 5 years. I remember our neighbors coming over to make calls to their relatives.

    Oh, how the times have changed.

  6. We are getting closer and closer to having 3.8 landline phones per 100 people again

  7. Straight into my veins please. My local ISP sucks soooo much (Vectra) and there’s no alternative in my building for some reason even though we have multiple Orange offices in the city (Gdańsk).
