Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

Even if there was primitive multiplexing on those cables, I am fairly sure a 100 Mbps link could handle all of them these days with bandwidth to spare.

Edit: Telephony multiplexing didn't show up till 1910 but telegraphy multiplexing was around since the 1870s. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplexing

Yeah but you wouldn't get that sweet analogue tone.
