No, I still maintain floppies are much better.

That is because you are not comparing them to the state of the art. What people should do is to have their files on a networked drive.  Compared to a networked file system the floppy drive and its media are slow, unreliable, insecure, and have puny capacity.

(of course, if you don't mind Someone Else reading that file (and I'm not talking about GENERAL ERROR  :-DD ) you can outsource that part. Flipping the RO tab on a 3,5" diskette will take longer time than copying a 1,4MiB file over most networks built the last 20 years, so speed is not an issue. )

And yes, I'm jumping around with first comparing to punch cards, then networked file systems. Point is, that floppy drives and media are an all-time low in medium reliability, only underbid by the practice of storing files to compact cassettes as was popular on several home computers.

Oh dear... I'm still horking up chunks and dry, rattly cough, but I actually got my arse out in the garage and did some real manual labor today. I do hope you're both better soon. Don't you be looking for the Bifrost yet... far too many unworthy here in this world still need your attention. ;)

VDSL is what they call that here and only offer it if you're within 500m of your local ISP box.
On a previous connection we had ADSL1 theoretically capable of a blistering 2MB/s and it would run just fine with one busted/open leg !  :o
That the phone wouldn't was hardly surprising.  :-DD
