ISP Information:
The largest size of a data packet that can be sent over a TCP/IP or other packet- or frame-based network. Ethernet uses an MTU of 1,500 bytes, while the standard Internet MTU is 576 bytes. Using a higher MTU is recommended for fast networks, while slower or more congested networks need a smaller MTU, as there is a greater chance that not all of the packet will make it through in one shot.

The simplest things no longer work.We had to buy 3 vacuum cleaners in 6 months time.Electric can openers are a joke today. I have lost track of how many ofthem we have had to buy in the last year alone.Ice bags in which the neck is too small for getting the ice cubes out.(You have to push them in with your fingers.)Radios that stop working in the first few months.The list can go on and one.Those countries are getting rich selling us the same item over and over,whereas, years back, any one of those items would have lasted 1/2 alifetime.I'm 70 years of age.
