True but I don't miss 53K bps analog POTS modem speeds.
My Internet varies between 700Mbps and 950Mbps. I don't miss analog
modem days in the least. There is no nostalgia there.
I consider analog modems similar to out houses. An interesting
historical factoid but not something to be missed🤣. Or even reminisce
about.

Doesn't have to be local. I use a server in Berlin.
Back in the 80's I used to run the USENET (and UUCP)
gateway for Finland.
I used to run a server at the University where I worked. Used to score
very high in ratings. Had a satellite feed as well as the terrestrial
ones
and moved a lot of news in my time. Those were good times.
