My internet provider is claiming cold weather is the cause of wide spread slow internet performance which begs the question What is the freezing point of the internet?

The AI shoots that down.

What is the freezing point of the internet?


ChatGPT
The internet does not have a physical temperature and therefore does not have a freezing point. The internet is a network of interconnected computers and servers that transmit information and data.

It's very scientific, it all has to do with Jack Frost byting your bits.

Frost Byte Time, also known as "Time to Frost Byte" (TTFB), refers to the amount of time it takes for a web browser to receive the first byte of data from a server after making a request. It's a measure of the latency of the network and the processing time of the server.
A fast TTFB can indicate that the server is responsive and capable of quickly serving the requested data, while a slow TTFB can be a sign of poor server performance or a congested network. A slow TTFB can result in longer page load times and a poor user experience, especially on mobile devices.
It's an important metric for website performance and can be optimized by reducing the size of the HTML file, minimizing server-side processing, and utilizing content delivery networks (CDNs).

Tell me about TrialsRider's internet freezing.

ChatGPT
Once upon a time, in a cold winter in Canada, the temperature dropped to a record low. As the temperature continued to fall, the internet started to slow down to a crawl. The infrastructure of the internet, including the servers and the cables, were not built to withstand such extreme cold temperatures.
At the same time, a young man named TrialsRider was out on his motorcycle, riding through the snowy roads. He noticed that his internet connection was getting slower and slower, making it difficult for him to get any work done.
Frustrated, TrialsRider decided to take a closer look and see if he could fix the problem. He rode his motorcycle to a nearby server farm and found that the servers were covered in ice, causing them to slow down.
Without hesitation, TrialsRider got to work. He used his motorcycle to drive around the farm, delivering hot packs to each server to defrost them and get them back up and running.
Thanks to TrialsRider's quick thinking and determination, the internet speed in Canada returned to normal. People were able to work and connect with each other again, and TrialsRider became known as the "Frost Byte Hero."
From that day on, the internet infrastructure in Canada was better prepared for the cold winters, and TrialsRider continued to ride his motorcycle, always ready to save the day when the internet needed it most.

LOL. I was just making shit up. But, you have given me something new to throw at Bell the next time the internet dies. I can't wait to ask if it might be "time to frost byte".

I can see some future complications for rescue teams. They will be talking about some 20 something's toes going black while the victim thinks they mean the internet is slow.

Trialsrider has a better solution, when the net pitch is 100 bucks a month and the download speed strikes out at 0.14 mbps, it's time to change providers

I thought our speed was bad. We get 30 Mbps wich I think is slower than anything offered by Verizon now but they want to drain us if we upgrade. 2 of us can watch different movies without issue so we stay. I wonder if the AI can convince then to up our speed to their lowest current tier.

Perfect! snow ride conditions here this morning, 4 degrees of freezing, clear sky, full sun and everything is frozen up solid including the snow drifts I think my 2023 riding season just started

 

[TrialsRider]

Wow that was scary, was having a good ol time on the lake until I found some thin ice and the rear tire started to roost ice water up my ass :| Otherwise what a blast to be riding again

Maybe just a crusting and water over the good ice. Scares the crap out of you either way.
When I was a kid my buddy and I were flying down the lake on my 15hp Olympique when the back end drop through the crust. I thought the ship was going down until I felt the rear rise. I look back and my buddy has hopped off and is lifting the arse of the sled and running along behind. We finally hit solid top ice again and he jumped back on, soaking wet and proceeded to freeze for the next 15 miles.

Didn't fear for my life, only the bike. Best riding is going to be in the early hours I expect. Try again tomorrow

15hp lol you had the big one

It looks like thawing days and freezing nights for the week, then a hard freeze Friday night, it should create a pretty solid crust. If I was a betting man I'd say you are going to have fun conditions for the weekend.

For the second week of February you're really lucky it's not bitter cold and snow crotch deep. You haven't had that many days this winter when it wasn't worth going for a ride.
