[22:37:02] <chromas> Good point. Most of those are subsets of their neighbors

[22:33:34] <Bytram> Which best describes your internet connection?
[22:33:03] <Bytram> leaves ambiguity whether that means one's home (cable/dsl/fiber/dialup) or cell-based
[22:32:34] <Bytram> How fast is your internet connection?
