More than ten years ago, we switched to fibre at 1Gbit/s. Even before that, at meagre ADSL speeds, I still installed over the net. I wrote one or two articles on how to cache with squid, then I started running our own local mirror.
I have put the ISOs on a server and used that with the NET install. However, for years DVD and USB stick were faster than my Internet connection. I just realized this about install speed today, when I updated my ThinkPad and realized it only had USB 2 ports. My desktop has USB 3, but all my USB sticks are only USB 2.
