Sagt mal @wetell ihr habt keine Glasfaserangebote, oder?
Könnt ihr da ansonsten einen Anbieter empfehlen, die ähnlich cool sind wie ihr?
Die Telekom rutscht ja gerade zumindest international ein bisschen ab, was Diversity und Co. angeht...
#ISP wants to complain about me using residential Internet for "commercial purposes". Apparently hosting your own website is commercial now so they're redoing my Internet as business Internet. My #homelab network will be going offline from the 18th to the 23rd could possibly be offline longer If they have any issues. The good thing coming out of this is I'll have access to static IP addresses.
Scratch that I was able to reschedule it to today
The only access I have to the WiFi router is that from an end user point of view.
I will first need to get command line access to it, or a Android tool, before I can change the TTL
I'm glad that there is a fix available.
The fact that you're able to use 25 GB instead of 5 GB by manipulating your TTL with one point is quite incredible!
Now some detailed questions how did you change the TTL? Which brand device are you using?
Is there a tool somewhere in the open source world where I can change the TTL of my Android WiFi device?
I've read your toot again
Your Franklin device is rooted and does have command Line Access
I have to note immediately that the 4G ISP in question, does not care that you hotspot your connection. I've hotspotted the phone in the afternoon to get the links browser for my live MX Linux distribution on an old notebook, without a boot device.
In fact I'm hot spotting the connection right now with two other devices
for some strange reason they just don't want the packets to get distributed through a mobile Wi-Fi router, and are preventing the device from even handshaking the SIM card in a usable modus

Traditional speed tests only tell part of the story. We tried to address @mtaht's points from “What’s Wrong with Speed Tests” article to make a better #speedtest that measures #WorkingLatency, #LatencyUnderLoad, and #jitter.

I shall do the following. Get me some bandwidth 4G+ bandwith, from the other provider
Never ever get bandwith from this provider again when I want to use it on a mobile WiFi router
The reason for the stipulation is that their Network can reach 40 GB per second on 4G Plus. The second provider gives you more bandwidth but they don't reach those speeds at all
@Timpostma @Dendrobatus_Azureus @RadioAzureus
The most incredible thing is that when you put that same GSM SIM card twice in the same phone, the second time around the initialization takes less than two seconds.
less than two seconds!
It doesn't matter whether the phone is an Android or is simple yes no GSM.
This means that the server catches the initialization process. It also means that the denial of service is not a mistake
In all this time I've put another SIM in the mobile WiFi router and it still has not gone from limited service to full service
For me absolute proof of denial of service
As I've said a couple of days ago, I do not intend to go back to the obsolete xDSL connections that my provider gives.
It is paradoxical, but the two 4G+ and 5G providers that the country has, give speeds which are up to par with what you can get in Europe most parts of Asia even in Russia.
I included the snapshot of the Simple GSM because Of The following,
It has come to my attention that my xDSL provider, which is also a 4G provider, suddenly needs about 60 to 90 seconds before they initialize is standard GSM Sim.
WTF? That takes as long to initialize their obsolete xDSL router and Gateway.
It is yesterday night at about 2200 hours that I found out why. They run and extensive script with you checks if your SIM is installed in a mobile WI-FI Gateway / router
When the script has determined that the SIM is not in a phone, it delays the authentication sequence of the SIM indefinitely.
You see the SIM card going from no access to limited access, and it stays there for more than 600 seconds! Then they fail the process!
This is a classic case of Denial Of Service.
I'm so glad that I only took 3 days I'll jump to the other provider again afterwards

I've stopped working with obsolete xDSL network devices. I have an ISP Fiber who installed Fiber to the CURB and Fiber to the Home simultaneously just to make money. They installed the obsolete fiber to the curb systems to milk people into making them think that xDSL is a way for the future.
Meanwhile on quite stable 4G Networks they give the speeds that you see in the screenshot. I can reach more than 40 MBit per second! I would rather be ad hoc on the internet, then have a slow obsolete 10 MBit connection over two copper wires.
I am finally enjoying the internet again when it comes down to speed

What a smashing surprise to have an efficient, well informed, patient & pleasant conversation with a real person at one's broadband provider. Thank you Eddy.
I've been a customer of Zen for many years & highly recommend them if you're in the UK.

Liberals: We Are Demanding Warrantless Wiretapping Because Fentanyl
The Liberal party wants law enforcement to spy on everything you do without pesky oversight? Why? Because Fentanyl.

Lawful Access Resurrected Again After Bill C-2 Gets Tabled
Canadian privacy nemesis, Lawful Access, appears to be back. It's part of what is now known as Bill C-2.
