Al SuttonIt takes a specialist engineer to play the game of “Is the blocked duct beneath the pavement, or my neighbours garden?”I’m hoping for pavement, that neighbour has an amazing garden and I really don’t want to be responsible for people anyone trying to dig it up.Place your bets now!<a href="https://alsutton.social/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UK</a> <a href="https://alsutton.social/tags/Broadband" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Broadband</a> <a href="https://alsutton.social/tags/FTTP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FTTP</a>

Droppie [infosec] 🐨:archlinux: :kde: :firefox_nightly: :thunderbird: :vegan:Recent email from my ISP advising of yet another price rise imminent, for my shitty <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FTTN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FTTN</a> fraudband service. The new price is still affordable, yet i am incensed by it, given my 700m of rotted copper gives me 37/7 on a very good day, but more typically ~32/5. So i've decided to challenge it by doing my first bit of active competition-hunting in many years, with a view to actually changing if i find decent looking candidates. I realise i shan't get any better performance til <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FttP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FttP</a> becomes available here, but getting a much lower price given the shit speeds is now desirable as a point of stubborn principle.

Edwin GroothuisAround last xmas or so, I though I got an email from <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Internode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Internode</a> stating that my 200/40 <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FTTP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FTTP</a> would be upgraded to 500/50 FTTP somewhere in February. Because I was sick at that time, I deleted the email going "I'll remember it" and went back to bed.Later on I couldn't find the email and was wondering if it was a fever dream or something else. So I forgot about it.Something on a podcast triggered this memory and since it's past February, I thought "Let's see if I was just making things up...." and ran the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SpeedTest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SpeedTest</a> application.Happiness!

Droppie [infosec] 🐨:archlinux: :kde: :firefox_nightly: :thunderbird: :vegan:I suspect <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/NBN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NBN</a> contractors might be at work in my street [& specifically outside my house atm], finally running fibre-optic cable up my street from the node box ~700 m away. A normal peep would not speculate, but simply wander outside, say g'day, & have a look/ask. Ofc not me though; i'm quietly under my bed, trembling with all the other silverfish & cockroaches & spiders, hoping they & their noise go away soon. D0gknows how i'm gonna manage, some other time, to actually deal with them coming into my place, inside my home, for the necessary Doings, later once my <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ISP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ISP</a> advises me that <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FttP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FttP</a> is finally available for me if i want it [which i do, just not the peeps needed to get it]. Sigh.

John LeachSo all the BT poles on our street now have big rolls of fibre hanging from them and fibre warning signs. Which presumably means <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FTTP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FTTP</a> is being rolled out! Very exciting (especially as the ADSL here is unusably slow!)However, the last pole on our street is almost 300 metres away from our drive and our house is 100 metres down the drive!Anyone know who I need to speak to about getting additional poles added along the street to the last few houses? Is this even remotely likely to happen?

Amiga4000TMy ISP has many SPF (single points of failure First start with terms FTTC FTTH (FTTP also) Check the wikipedia page.About 26hrs ago (exactly at 02:01) the following services of my ISP died all together in syncVOIP (phone voice) XDSL GSM LTE+. I noticed the warning my router gave & the gateway going red and dead. No calls were possible, since the GSM networks also died for me.How? FTTC we have FTTC small expensive boxes (1.30m 40cm 1.20m) besides the streets. Mine dropped itself hard along with wireless servers in my area. Why? Neglected maintanance. Result catastropic drop of ALL services for 2+hours!I went into comms survival mode (with my tranceivers) Those were fine of course. Why is there no second route to the servers when my main FTTC box fails? Greed & logistics. The ISP never told me what happened. A friend inside gave me some data. As a monopolist th ISP has too much technical power over us. There's a FTTH project running, which will at least drop the FTTC network boxes besides the roads. However that project should have been FTTH only. Instead they made a terrible mix of FTTH & FTTC. The mix was made with corruption in the background because the FTTC network is cheaper. Also when they put you on the FTTH network they still deliver absimal XDSL speeds.The provider has also made a mistake of putting the network FTTH above ground. So every time someone slams the telephone poles down that Network also goes down with all your communications. That means you will have no VoIP no Data, which means a total cut off from what could be a lifeline, when it comes down to the VoIP service, for which the phone providers on my continent still have to give 48 volts of DC power to the phone lines for a whole week after power utility has been cut off. They are forced to do so by Law of the Land.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_to_the_x" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_to_the_x</a><a href="https://c.im/tags/Networking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Networking</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/FTTC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FTTC</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/FTTH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FTTH</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/FTTP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FTTP</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/POSIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#POSIX</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ClosedSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClosedSource</a>

Ben HardillEE FTTP at my folks keeps dropping to either 50/50 or 100/50 as apposed to the 300/50 they are paying for.
