Oh yeah, I have experienced that for a lot of my life. I didn't realize that that wasn't normal, though. I haven't experienced Canadian internet for long enough.
However, I can definitely say that I have had to solve a lot of captchas and can recall at least one incident where I could only have been banned because I was from Pakistan.
- Scapeghost 6y agoIt happens often on Reddit, which is really bad with their shadowbanning and associating you with other accounts that you have nothing to do with, probably because crappy ISPs reuse IP addresses for multiple users.
- amingilani 6y agoSome ISPs also use a carrier-grade NAT so multiple users share an IP address.
- Tijdreiziger 6y agoIsn't this almost universally the case for mobile data?
- fomine3 6y agoPossibly IPv6 support on both ISP and web service solves this issue.
- amingilani 6y agoI suppose so, but I know of multiple Pakistani ISPs that do this with their fiber offerings as well. I don't know if it's standard practice, though.
