Might be different where you are but around here with such snafus if you get a media outlet involved (TV station) and they start reporting on it, such companies are more than willing to pay for everything. They would rather have the media outlet ring off with that rather than stating that the travel company claim it is your problem not theirs.

Well that was quick, and luckily I realized it is an English word because it is a very common italian one and I'd have overlooked it otherwise.

I agreed, so I ditched Xfinity and went with Ziply.
Now I get 1GB up + down. I'd take 2GB but I only have Cat5 right now.
So excited. I've waited years for fiber to the curb.

I had to wait years for fibre to cabinet ... Still, 40Mb/s is pretty good for round here - most get about 10Mb/s at best due to poor quality cables from the cabinet.

11MB up 40 Down on a good day!
We live so far out in the country they have to transfer packets by donkey!

See RFCs 1149 and 2549.

It was called SneakerNet back in the day for a reason.

-- Anon I head this for the first time around 1979-80, then as 'A truckload of magnetic tape has a tremendous bandwidth'.
This variation with 747 and microSDs is new to me. Of course it is just as true as the magnetic tape version, but it is no better at retransmission in case of checksum errors. Nor can you run a website based on that technology.

The story is old: In Andrew Tanenbaum's 'Computer Networks' (1981) book, the Chapter 1, Problem 1, states:
Imagine that you have trained your St. Bernhard, Bernie, to carry a box of three floppy disks instead of a flask of brandy. (When your disk fills up, you consider that an emergency.) These floppy disks each contain 250,000 bytes. The dog can travel to your side, wherever you may be, at 18 km/hour. For what distances does Bernie have a higher data rate than a 300 bps phone line?
Since 1981, there has been dozens, probably hundreds, derivatives of this 'problem'. Tanenbaum's book was so popular that we can assume that those creating derivatives in the 1980s and 90s were all familiar with Tanenbaum's problem statement. Those coming later either know of Tanenbaum, or they have learned of other Tanenbaum derivatives.
When I was teaching computer networking in the early 1990s, I used this problem in one final exam - but I had to update it to a box of 10 CDs, each 640 MByte, to be compared to a 2B ISDN line (128 kbps). I also asked the students to consider other aspect of this kind of communication. One pointed out the retransmission time in case of a checksum error. Another one referred to line noise in the form of bitches in heat along the route. A third one remarked that the data was physically protected from theft.
Note that Tanenbaum's problem statements point to one essential aspect: The distance. Most derivatives point only to the bit rate. You can have a tremendous bit rate on short distances, but once you need to access a server a few hundred or thousand kilometers away, then both Bernie and pigeons loose the game.

Wouldn't that be by burro?
In my part of the world VDSL2 at 100 Mbps is standard, with 1 Gbps fiber network available in many places.

In India, moderately high-speed fiber is readily available for anyone living in a township. That too at a very affordable rate. I pay around Rs. 900/- for 100Mbps fiber connection with unlimited data and additional perks like access to some OTT platforms. Felt kind of counterintuitive that it is better in India.
