We had a chat at work about the good old days where ISPs were local startups.

I was with Magma, he was with Primus. We were trying to find the other ones that were out there ! Help us remember Lemmy!

hmmm...I was on Cyberus? Can't remember if Magma bought Cyberus or vice versa. For a while. Then... dsl.ca...mixed in with Bell dialup... everyone jumped to "Rogers Wave" for a while when cable was king.

Looking forward to the day when wholesale competition comes to Bell's GPON Fibe(r).

Cyberus! Yes! I think you’re right there was a name change or merger or something.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.
