@marado@tilde.pt that sounds way more accurate 😀

I haven’t used a modem in 20 years, I think

@eaplmx@twtxt.net You very likely use one now (unless you have Fibre) 🤣 They’re just now a lot fancier/faster and are multiplexed and have multiple streams 🤣 (DSL / vDSL) – Also Copper is garbage 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net well, I use some 5 Ghz antenna (no idea what technologies or protocols it uses) since there wasn’t a pole for cables in the neighborhood. But the most possible thing is that they are using a modem at the end 💁‍♂️

@eaplmx@twtxt.net Yeah that was kind of my point, is that a modem is basically a modulation of some signal over a carrier wave of some kind 🤣 So we still actually use “modems” in some sense, we just don’t call ‘em that anymore 😆
