I was speaking from a UK perspective which, as another commenter says, is mostly co-ax from a point on the pavement. 'Actual' FTTP is coming in now, like HyperOptic, starting with apartment blocks where they can get lots of custom

There are a few different flavours of physics you can use for DAS, and they 'use up' different areas of the spectrum. As long as what you want to do for telecoms is using completely separate wavelengths (channels or bands) then ye

Photonics engineer here: DAS isn’t sensitive or spatially accurate enough to eavesdrop like that. Also, fibre is very rarely to the home. Normally it’s to a connection box just outside the property and then co-ax to the modem. Lastly, fibre

Why bother about how the windows installation process works or their policy for permanently disabling updates? If they changed those things would it really make you want to use Windows? I suspect not. Most people who use Windows are fine w

The windows hating is so boring and childish. Windows, and particularly Windows 10, is a very good OS. It's not even open source advocates that dislike it so much. I think most Linux users would admit Windows is a solid option, if just

It does not take ten years to learn things. It might take 10 years to be good at something. I recently took up lawn bowls. I learned it in about 30 mins. It's quite simple. I'm not any good at it. I used the Learn C++ in 24 Hours

Observation from a Scottish perspective: We are somewhere in between the two modes. We smile more than Russians (not difficult) and less than Americans (also not difficult), and we notice both quite clearly. I would say we used to be more l

Sorry but isn't this a message board on a VC website?

This seems really harsh. It's not like the guy tried to hide from you that it would still permit one daily ping. He told you straight up.
