This is the correct approach. The ISP pulls their bullshit. Service passes the cost on to customers. Customers move to different ISP. ISP eventually learns lesson.
Of course, this only works if there is competition between ISPs.
- nulltype 11y agoWait, but the customers here are Hetzner's customers, right? How would they move to a different ISP?
- Mahn 11y agoHetzner is not an ISP but a hosting/servers/colocation company. The ISPs are the companies end customers are using to access internet in the first place (Deutsche Telekom, AT&T, etc)
- tajen 11y agoYes, and where are the JS libraries that show a warning to customers of networks operating at lower capacity? All ISPs have available bandwidth for speedtest.com, but when it comes to Youtube or Netflix, it requires a warning.
- bduerst 11y agoSpeedOf.me works pretty well, but it would be nice to have a browser extension that notified me whenever a site loaded more slowly for me than others in the region on different ISP.
- herbst 11y agoThats a great idea actually. I may also try to track ISP and times on one of my more popular websites.
