Yes, me too. But it's more expensive. And ISPs are so used to milking old infrastructure it's a miracle we're getting any fiber now that DOCSIS can do gigabit. edit: funnily enough, DSL is similar to AON in that it's ded

That is uncommon, usually users get a single device that does it all and cannot easily replace the all-in-one with a media converter or single-port ONT.

It depends how they do TR069. My ISP has multiple interfaces, i.e. HSI (high speed internet, bridge or NAT PPPoE), Voice (bridge with ISP network, VoIP for phones), Voice_ATA (bridge with ISP network, VoIP via embedded ATA, modem acts as on

Well yes but nothing prevents you from, for example, changing both user's passwords so they can't log in to even change WiFi password. [1] Needless to say, I don't trust it and disable it whenever I can. I can set up my PPPoE

Having DOCSIS is the worst. The connection is unpredictably unstable and I personally reject any belief of a "tuned cable system" existing. It's all a mess. And by design since DOCSIS auth is done on the CPE (modem), the devi

There are cheap postpaid packages with only data (a lot, >10 GB) and ~100 minutes, SMS is paid per message.

I mean my microwave has an electronic dial to enter the time which increments by 5 seconds starting at 10 seconds, and a Start/Another 30s more button, so you can set it to any time very quickly. It's the cheapest model that doesn

Sadly, in a lot of places, antipsychotics from the 50s (i.e. Chlorpromazine) are the FIRST kind of therapy given, even to adolescent patients with "generic" depression, alongside SSRIs. No consent given or asked for, let alone inf

Just wanted to thank you for mentioninf hCaptcha. I had tried it some time before but IIRC it was either invite-only or enterprise-only or had some "size" requirements. Just saw that it's available for all. Thank you!

It doesn't necessarily mean the network is not technically capable, they probably just don't have a plan with faster speeds. GPON is 2.4/1.2 Gbps and it's shared with multiple users so it's incredibly unlikely that

I disagree. 4G is severly limited in capacity so speed will vary everywhere, and same will apply to 5G too. Fiber has incredible capacity and can be upgraded by changing OLT and ONT equipment on both sides. It can also run multiple protocol

It could be using Huawei software and hardware. Serbian ISP "Telekom Srbija" which uses mostly Huawei HG8245Q2 ONTs and has standardized on Huawei OLT and Core network, also uses these Nokia branded devices. AFAIK the Huawei GPON

For me, SPA is either chosen due to "fancy factor" or because the app is too complex to easily implement as a traditional (SSR) web page. That could be a complex search+filter with autocomplete, or a social network-like UI with in

It's cheaper to ignore it, as I wrote here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24636661 And yes, that's how most mobile network operators work. There are exceptions, but it's not a "standard" thin

Yes, because the FUP is 2 Mb/s and after 200 GB. I don't use that much in a month as this Internet is used only when I visit my parents' house and stay for a week or so (though I'm staying now much longer because of COVI

At least you reached someone who can interpret the graph, or even if they could, are even allowed to and able to (and willing to) forward the issue upstream. Usually ISPs here optimize for lowest possible maintenance cost (right away), whic

You can do this with the WebM container, not with MP4. The reason is that the MP4 container requires the video frames to be segmented properly and marked into a metadata part of the file which can be in front or end but cannot be created wi

Understood. Sorry for the confusion. RE: PPPoE - in general most AAA systems already work with PPP and since ISPs generally have to support legacy infrastructure too, and multiple access technologies, they "force" all users to con

Edit: disregard my comment, I mistook PTP to mean Ethernet while in reality it's Point to point Fiber. In any case my point about noise still stands. But PTP Fiber is really rare in the world, given how many people are stuck on coax. Y
