@matigo Yes and no. The connection at home in HK is worse than my UK or Paris connections when all is well: my dad won't buy a proper router (he keeps buying knock-offs that need to be rebooted every 48 hours) because he can't justify the cost, and the plan isn't particularly impressive.
But it's understandable, because both parents do all their work in the office and don't actually need it when they come home.
If/when I move back, or into our other apartment, I'll make sure to have the best connection I can justify, and I might have time to sort out the home network as well. He may be an engineer, but his cable organisation is horrendous, to put it mildly — nudge one cable and you end up pulling 3 out of some socket or the other (it's worse than the Mac Pro's port arrangement!)
