Here's the thing I don't get:
Romania for example, has huge speeds for relatively cheap. If million people had 1Gbit Internet how the fuck would that work? Even dividing with 100 to account for average utilisation over them all gives you 10,000 Gbit. How the fuck do you get that sort of bandwidth? DE-CIX, the biggest fucking Internet exchange has 5Tbps peak throughput.
Do they have tens of local exchanges and keep only local traffic at those speeds or what? Do they have huge data centers for caching so the traffic stays local?
Everything about large amount of users with huge speeds is fucking confusing. Any recommended reading?
Bump
Living in Bulgaria, can confirm: internet is FAST and CHEAP. Like 100Mb/s for $20 with cable TV, hbo go subscription and whatnot. I have absolutely no fucking clue how is this even possible. Someone explain pls.
P.S: I love it
don't forget that not all people are downloading and seedings torrents at max speed 24/7
at least 90% will be normies who only use it for 200KB jpegs

They're fairly small countries, and they're right next to the rest of Europe and all the massive backbone capacity installed there. There's probably a lot of underprovisioning going on, too, if everyone in those countries a.) had an internet connection and b.) used the speeds and bandwidth available, prices would go way up and speeds way down.
>>54286875
Yes, I'm using 10mbps as average user speed to reach 10Tbps figure. It's generous actually, given that you usually divide by 12 instead of hundred.

Nigga that's not small at all, it's the size of UK.
>and they're right next to the rest of Europe and all the massive backbone capacity installed there.
They are bigger than the biggest exchange, thus they have to be connected to at least a dozen various exchanges just for it to function. I guess I'm just totally lost when I try to comprehend the sheer size of the network.

Comcast pls go

the UK has 50 million more people, pretty much all of whom are online. Romania is incredibly poor and only a small percentage of people are online, with even fewer of them on high-speed connections.
>>54286996
>>Nigga that's not small at all, it's the size of UK.
yeah, that's pretty small
So, wee all agree that IF 1mil in Romania started dling like crazy, their speed would be significantly lower?
>>54287029
>Romania is incredibly poor
As in GPB put in comparison to UK or other European countries but as buying power relative to that income it's decent actually developed pretty much over the last few years.
Even the poorest shepherd from the most remote place has a smartphone with internet connection..
Everything is much cheaper in Romania compared to the rest of Europe, very cheap actually, internet, electricity, gas every service - even land is cheaper.

If it's white's move, G1 to F1
If it's black then F8 to F6
Eitherway queen is being sacrificed to open the board

Well it's a puzzle for you to solve m8o
Rh1+ Kg8 Rh8+ etc until you get to Qh7#.
Here's an easier one, 4u
>>54287227
Why isn't the solution Rg1h1 and then Rh2h8?
Black can try to do something with Ra8a1 but the white can take it and return to b2 if black Q tries check him
>>54287262
>return to b2
to b1*
>>54287227
>>54287262
Sorry, I fucked up the solution a bit. It's crucial that you don't lose any tempi, ie make a non forcing move because black is threatening Ra1+ Kxa1 Ra7+ Kb1 Ra1+ Kxa1 Qa3+ and mate. It's pretty much the same you are threatening, but it's your turn and you musn't lose a move: Rh8+ Kxh8 Rh1+ Kg8 Rh8+ Kxh8 Qh1+ and mate.

Romania is running on decades old fiber that was the cheapest small firms could've bought back then.
>over provisioning
>under usage
>most servers can't do 1Gbit anyway
I have a 100Mbit connection in Germany and you can already see speeds go down in the evening hours when everyone is home from work, school, etc.
Sometimes on rainy days YouTube runs like shit even though I theoretically have a massive 100 Mbit line
The backbone is already at its limit, especially if a lot of traffic is headed towards a single big player (e.g. Google)

Dont you at the same time only earn 300€/ month?
In Addition you have to live in romania for this kind of offers.
Totally not worth it.

On average a programmer earns 1600 euros / month.
That means 1822 usd / month, now compare the cost of living with America - and understand the buying power.
+ an experienced programmer can earn muuuch more.

Nope, but you still need to be a decent player to solve it. I mean nobody solved other ones correctly, and they are piss easy.
