External GPUs were always second best. CopprLink may change that (www.techspot.com)

I'm doing it all in-house. Once the internet gets involved, all bets are off. Even going from 2 connections in the same town on the same ISP with gigabit fiber I've gotten unreliable results.

Oh OK! Yeah, local network is a whole different experience because you have a great degree of control.

Our internet infrastructure is probably in some ways better [*] than the US or Canada, based on my experiences living and travelling in North America, but it seems if you have WiFi involved anywhere in the chain, it's difficult to get a good experience.

  • In the sense of a near universal median experience, we don't have the high end stuff, the Verizon telecom service in some rural areas is impressive, but I will speculate the majority of households can get gigabit fiber for $15/month and mobile access is universal, cheap and competitive (but we don't have 5G).
