    I humbly suggest you don't completely understand heat pumps.

    I humbly suggest that I understand them better than you do.

  10. Swedish users get up to 400 gigabits per second. Yes, two zeros and a g.

    400 Gbps is even impressive for a general distribution network. I'm having a hard time imagining how you'd deploy that all the way to a customer endpoint at some random rural residential address. Can you find some reference to support this claim? I would love to find out how it works, and what kind of hardware the customer would need to support it.
