Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.

  • If your neighbour can also get symmetrical internet with a residential contract, then that would be the better example to prove his point wrong.

    Sure, but I don’t get their bill now do I?

    A business contract is not a good comparison because they usually are symmetrical for a premium price regardless of the quality of the residential internet in your area.

    Which was the point of me bringing it up… my price is likely higher than my neighbor. But I know that the same speeds are available. Symmetric.

    Once again though… Without more information we can’t actually compare but at face value… I pay 5.89 times for for presumably 8-80 times more speed. EVEN ON MY BUSINESS CONTRACT. Hard to say that their service is categorically better than mine…


  • He provided details about his non-business internet being symmetrical and YOU compared it to your business contract line, that’s literally how it started.

    To my residential house… of which my neighbor can get the same service, under a residential contract. Also they didn’t say if their internet was residential or not.

    The cost is to prove that Americans do not have easy access to the same level of internet his country has, which is his main point. You needed to purchase a business line to have it symmetrical, which is not accessible to the everyone.

    No. My neighbor can also get 8/8, under a different SLA as residential. I only provided “under business contract” because that changes the price.

    Just because you can pay 100 times the cost of healthcare in European countries to get high quality heathcare in America, it doesn’t mean the average American can afford to go to the hospital or that your healthcare system is just as good. The same thing applies to your internet.

    You’re not making a good look for your stance when you over hyperbolize the situation. I pay 5.89 times more… for what could be 8-80 times more speed. We don’t know because THERE IS NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION.


  • You need to scroll up and pay attention.

    Them:

    My ISP offers symmetrical […] glad I’m not American

    Me:

    As someone living in America, I have great internet

    Them:
    <Requests direct information about cost>

    Me:
    <I oblige>

    Them:
    <makes a comparison without qualifying anything about the comparison, claiming theirs to be superior>

    Me:
    <calls it out>

    They provided no details at all… this whole engagement. We still don’t actually know what speeds they even get for their mere 28USD. Could be 100mbps and it would be significantly worse by ever metric than my 8gbps. I can’t compare my service to something that we have no details for.






  • Last time someone was worried about the security it was about knowing filenames of the stuff you host by brute forcing iirc

    Knowing (guessing) the file path allows them to access and stream the content. Meaning worst case scenario… Sony (the people known for putting malicious stuff on CDs) can probe your server, and prove the content is there because your server will return the movie file itself.

    My phone has that too… but only for the signed in network. Not for other networks that are saved on the device. I have a guest network that I shove guests on that have some restrictions (blocked from homelab network for the most part). I would need to swap to that network myself then click share…
