I actually have the Mörbylånga table at home and I find it very sturdy. One thing which the pictures doesn't show is that there are two supporting beams under the table, which provides the necessary strength to not collapse on first touch. Obviously, I have not done the actual test, but I will try to remember and report back if the table ever breaks.


Tangential, but if your table doesn't break in the next few days then you won't be able to report back, since editing and replying to comments get disabled after some days. I don't know what the exact time frame is like though.


Advertised: 10gbit fiber symmetric - $30. Real: ~5gbit upload, 2gbit download (max); ~800mbit up & down (median) Sonic, San Francisco Bay Area


How does that happen? Fiber shouldn't have congestion, right?


I attribute it to the speed test I server which is picked up - it is not the ISP provided one, so I assume there will be some variation of the measured bandwidth. Manual tests against the ISP provided instance is much closer to 10gbit, but I haven't bothered to automate it yet to graph it.

On other hand, my understanding is that fiber is not immune from congestion problems - the only difference is at what point it happens.
