IIT Kanpur was known for its speed of internet since before time started, it was
faster than neutrinos, anti neutrinos & the brains of people who used it.
Alas, all things come to an end, so did the legacy of this
wonderful mystical creature of IIT Kanpur.
Many (hopefully I'm not alone when I think this) think is a conspiracy to free IITians of their addiction of internet, which assumes that people will not use internet if it is dead slow. What they forget is, most of the people have worked on DSL internet (max. 256 kbps) at some point of time.
They created a creature of black magic clad in iron armor, known to the world as,
Iron Port. It lashed & sapped the bandwidth until bandwidth & speed were no more.
RIP Fast Internet At IITK
Or is it the first step to
The Great Jedi Purge?
UPDATE : For the IITK alumni who graduated recently & cannot connect the words slow internet & IITK, think of webmail taking about 45 seconds to load, you'll know what I mean.
