But thankfully due to the glycogen structure of pasta, it allows us to refract light waves at 6x the speed.<\/p>\n<p>Even though they&#8217;re much maligned in dieting circles, carbohydrates are proving crucial in our efforts to deliver faster internet speeds. The installation of our brand-new linguine lines has been in development for some time while our installation engineers further develop their skillsets to cope with the new technology.<\/p>\n<p>We dig narrow trenches, usually in the pavement, and lay the strands of pasta into protective ducting. Once in place, we pour boiling water into the trenches to fuse the strands together with a drizzle of olive oil to stop it from sticking. It often only takes 20-30 minutes for the pasta to cool, and then residents can access our full fibre network, which we\u2019ve affectionately dubbed \u2018spaghetti junction\u2019, whenever they feel the need for faster more reliable connection.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, if at this point you still haven&#8217;t cottoned on to the fact that today is the 1st April 2022, and this is CLEARLY an April Fools by Giganet, then.. there are no words \ud83d\ude42 .<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve spotted another April Fools ISP joke, this time from Andrews and Arnold (<a class=\"shortlink shortlink-109 shortlink-chref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/aaisp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"aaisp\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/aaisp.net.uk\">AAISP<\/a>).
