We have fiber for a couple of years now. 400Mbps (up and down). 😁
And it's very reliable, no issues in all those years (knock on wood).
400Mbps was only €5/month more expensive than 100Mbps, couldn't let that go. 😁
I am hoping for faster upload. The cable provider really throttles the upload speeds with no options for faster unless you get a business account.

That's a beauty! Being Leica thread - you could adapt that to your big guns, and crop off the corners it may not cover.

I am on vacation for a week, but am delaying our trip to the Carolina mountains by a day or so to allow the remnants of the hurricane to blow through. It gives me an extra day to decide on what to throw in my backpack. I am going with all rangefinder adapted glass for my Nikon kit. I haven't done that before, so I have to make sure I have all my adapter plumbing ready. Nothing worst than getting on the trail and not being able to use something. And I am double-checking to make sure I have my memory cards
Looking at James' post about the 105s made me decide to throw in the 10.5cm LTM version just in case I need something longer.
While packing today, I decided to take a quick shot of it. Built in tripod mount too

Highest speed you can get here is 1Gbps. Most servers can't handle that.
You are right. Cropped to 4x5 or 1x1 and you are good to go on the 44x33 medium format sensors. Only limitation on the Hassy is moving objects since you have to rely on electronic shutter and the potential for rolling shutter effect. But landscape is fine.

My upload speed used to be around 1.4 Mbps, now it's 20mbps which isn't as fast as Chris, but works for me. My provider offered 100mb $59 a month which is what I have. I could have gone to 1gb, but it was substantially more.
It took over a year once I saw them coming down the main road into town to get it. And the only reason we got it out this far was because
of the government putting more money into broadband.

You may be the fastest on here. Definitely worth the extra €5 a month more.
Currently running a 40 person office off of 50Mbps circuit because the 400Mbps circuit was dropping packets. That’s with VoIP and web traffic. If it’s cheap grab it, but much beyond 100Mbps is wasted unless multiple people in your family are streaming constantly. Just my 2 cents, but it’s worth about half that.
Unrelated question, what’s the best way to dissolve the lacquer that Nikon used to seal elements on their lenses? I tried to pull out the 135 f/3.5 Q but its losing too ,Cush contrast from some haze in the front group.

Here in the 3rd World my provider had to refund me as they couldn't achieve the 20Mbps promised. Australia's NBN is a joke (the incoming government decided to downgrade the roll out from fibre to the door to fibre to the node, Leaving copper the rest of the way)
I didn't mean so start a religious debate, you know, Ford vs Chevy etc, so I am all for everyone to have freedom of belief, why we even have a local teacher who identifies as a rhinoceros.
But from my own peculiar perspective I'd still have to say PS6 is obsolete.
Some how a trend I observed in another one of my peculiar interests comes to mind. A few years ago I noted in amateur astronomy circles there was a fad where individuals would try to look at individual celestial objects with smaller and smaller telescopes, so that the logical end to this would be to reduce the view to that of a barely detectable smudge.
Separate elements, got the group pulled with one of the rubber plungers. But I’ve come across the lacquer they use to seal lens groups too many times, always seems to be where I need to clean. Don’t know why I didn’t think of Richard, I use his walk throughs often enough.

Are you trying to separate the elements or just remove a group? If you have not reviewed this, take a look at Richard Haw's site.
Here is a tear down article on the Nikkor-Q 135mm f/3.5 Auto
I still get misty thinking about the weird tones of my 14.4 baud modem negotiating a connection with my ISP so I could talk via a MIRC channel to my lovely now wife in Hobart Tasmania on the other side of the planet in 1996. Then came 56k modems - talk about fast!

James, the sound of dial-up internet is unforgettable!
