This law is a tech-support nightmare.
You can call your ISP with any arbitrary piece of non-branded random AliExpress $#@$ of a network eq. and they must walk you through configuring it? That does not make much sense to me.
- tejtm 7y agoOr it is strong motivation to be the perfectly standard dumb pipe the user wanted to pay for in the first place.
- ThePowerOfFuet 7y agoNo, they have to provide the required values.
- m3at 7y agoParent note that the ISP provide a router anyway. It's safe to assume that most people will simply use that, if not for the support just because it is already there.
- blaser-waffle 7y agoYeah this. My mom isn't ever going to add a 3rd party router. Even most of the technical people I know (well paid python devs, etc.) probably wouldn't mess the on-prem ISP gear. I do network engineering for a living, so I totally would, but I'm an outlier compared to the rest of the population.
