Fuck xfinity

Based Trump solved this issue in most parts of the country. Too bad you live in some liberal shithole.

Seriously who the fuck would pay $40/mo for fucking 5mbps when 50mbps is $50/mo? How does this make any sense?

You say static IP like its a good thing lol, I have static IP for free and I wish I didn't... but the ISP won't change it.

I don't have a static IP but I might as well, the only way to get a new IP is to disconnect my router for 24 hours. If I reconnect it at any point before the 24 hour period I just get re-assigned the same IP address I was previously using.

So you can't just do a simple router reset to get a new IP like you'd expect.

That's because it is a good thing, user. Surely no one cares enough about Mongolian cave writing boards to evade a few days' worth of vacation from this hellhole.

>southwest virginia

As a comcast customer in southwest virginia, fuck nothern virginia. The only reason they don't have data caps there is because of Verizon FiOS.

I don't care about ban evading, I care about tracking.

your ISP knows which IP you're using at any given time anyway, and they'll report that to any local or national government who's purview they fall under.

Didn't Google abandon the Fiber project?

Not 100%, they're currently looking at delivering a fiber backbone with 5G wireless spectrum delivering bandwidth to customers.

So instead of doing full fiber to the home, they'll do fiber to your neighborhood, and shared 5G wireless for everyone in the area, all sharing a multi-gigabit fiber link.

Damn I'm not talking about illegal stuff nor tracking from my ISP, I'm just talking about tracking by random sites like Jow Forums, google, etc. If you have the same IP for a very long time they will just build a profile about you, even if you aren't logged in.
And its illegal in my country for ISPs to give info to the gubmint without a court order (that I'd receive too so I'd know).

That's how the US works too, until they decide it's a potential national security threat and the warrant goes to a FISA court and you never know.

static ip is good if you're self hosting too

assuming you're not profiting off of your hosting.

Personal hosting is fine, but most ISPs would require you to upgrade to a business connection if you started selling services through your connection.

>he thinks his IP is an important part of tracking by random websites
user, I have bad news for you.

No way lol, at least not here.
I am self hosting and I was self hosting before with dynamic IP, it was fine since the IP stayed the same if I didn't reboot my router, and for everything else, DNS.
>he thinks it isn't
I have bad news for you. I know cookies and JS are used too, hence why I disable them as well.

>No way lol, at least not here.
Then why would any home business EVER pay for a business connection if they were allowed to just use a personal connection for 1/4 the cost?

I guarantee you that your ISP has a stipulation in their contract where if you're selling hosting services or similar on your residential connection, you're breaking the contract and they can cancel your service, or switch you to a business connection at increased monthly cost.

Dude, the concept of "business connection" in my country doesn't mean that you can't make money off of it unless you have one, it just means that you get better support, guaranteed speeds, extra services like email / static IP / etc. You can do whatever the fuck you want with the connection you paid for, unless it violates national laws of course.

Then your ISPs are losing out on a shit ton of money because i'd bet 90% of small businesses just use residential internet since they have no need for the up time and guaranteed speeds most of the time.

Which probably means your internet infrastructure in general is shitty since they aren't collecting enough money to pay for the upgrades needed.

>>he thinks it isn't
>I have bad news for you. I know cookies and JS are used too, hence why I disable them as well.
It isn't, advertisers know that people's IPs change and that ISPs love nothing more than to use CGN which makes an IP practically worthless in tracking users. You do well by blocking cookies and JS, but they literally could not give less of a fuck about your IP.
What's more important to them is the unique fingerprint that your browser leaves behind. The trackers will look at your user agent, which addons you're running, your OS, shit they'll look at your browser's fucking window size. This shit goes much further than just cookies.

>losing out on a shit ton of money
maybe we don't have an oligopoly like in the US and ISPs have competition, so they have to offer cheap stuff or people will switch ISP.
>internet infrastructure in general is shitty

>all these third world shitholers bragging about how "cheap" their internet is when it costs them half their monthly income

I have nothing to prove to you, it really is not uncommon here in Europe to have those prices, check it out for yourself on any ISP.

I have, most ISPs offering gigabit have tiny service areas, even in europe. Just look at any german ISP thread and see the complaints roll in about being just outside of a major city but stuck with shitty ADSL.

Germany is the exception to the rule, they are really advanced in some things but their internet is serious bullshit. In Sweden, Norway, France, Spain... basically anywhere but Germany fiber is ubitiquious, and gigabit is usually offered but most people dont get it because they dont need it.

>basically anywhere but Germany fiber is ubitiquious
You're straight up full of shit, I am in almost every speedtest thread on this board, and sure, europe has a fair number of ISPs with gigabit, but MOST people are on ADSL, or DOCSIS, not fiber.

>basically anywhere but Germany fiber is ubitiquious
the fuck it is, fiber isn't even ubiquitous in fucking Sweden

Where I live ISPs don't even offer ADSL anymore, outside of rural areas... But don't believe me if you don't want to. Maybe my country just has really good internet.

Name your country, we can literally look up the statistics.

advanced-television.com/2018/03/23/spain-e525m-boost-for-100-optic-fibre-coverage/

>The global plan, called 300 x 100, aims to reach 100 per cent optic fibre overage of the country by 2021. Currently, FTTH networks reach 75 per cent of the population with plans to cover over 95 per cent by 2021. The remaining 5 per cent will have to be covered by satellite.

>FTTH networks reach 75 per cent of the population

Yeah, and how many actually have FTTH? What are the ISPs charging for installation of these services? Most people in spain obviously aren't on fiber since your countries average speed for fixed broadband access is under 70mbps.

stay mad about your data cap, faggot

Every ISP has a data cap if that's your logic retard. Including your own.

>be american
>have data caps

I never said otherwise. You are the only retard claiming that you have no data cap.

Considering comcast has a 1TB in most states(), it's perfectly valid to consider any state that doesn't have that cap, to be uncapped.

Of course you can't use more data than is physically possible to transmit over the line, that's just common sense and doesn't need to be stated at all.

Plan A: speed: x, limit: y
Plan B: speed: y/x, limit: 0

Which plan is better? I think plan b is better because it's unlimited.

I should upgrade my 100 Mbps line

>bandwidth shared with every other household in the local area as opposed to a literal direct subscriber line
I'm fine with going slightly slower in exchange for a consistent connection during prime time.

I rarely ever see slowdowns during prime time, and if I do it's from 300mbps down to maybe 200-250mbps, far better than pretty much any DSL connection could deliver.

its finnish ebin meemi spurdo spärde

dna is shit isp btw

100/10 9.99e/mo from elisa FTW

>tfw they rolled out a cap in your state recently and they're the only remotely acceptable provider so you just have to sit there and get datacucked

This is a good point.
20 euros means much more to a Latvian than $60 does to an American.

All I can get in my area is satellite or a 4g plan.

The 4g plan isn't that bad for most use, averages around 25 mbps, and although it has a datacap of 50gb with unlimited video and audio streaming, they don't actually enforce the cap unless you use a lot of data. Latency is good too.

But fuck I wish I could stream in higher def. I'm restricted to 720p or they meter it.

Im really holding out for 5g. I know the semirural stuff wont be as fast as the metropolitan gigabit stuff, but they're planning on uncapped plans so that will be nice.

Also I own and live next to the land with the tallest tower in the county so if they put 5g anywhere here, it will be near my house.

>Also I own and live next to the land with the tallest tower in the county
Honestly, if this is the case you should talk to someone about getting your own point to point radio installed with a direct uplink to the fiber.
Pay for the radios themselves (~$500-1000 investment) and then depending who supplies the fiber to that tower, you should be able to get a connection for fairly cheap.

That can easily do multiple hundred megabit per second, assuming you have line of sight to the tower.

it's either dna or sonera or some meme 4g

Comcast tech support here.
The tools they provide are fucking shit. Nothing loads properly. They try to make sales during troubleshooting too and you'll get fuckin fired if you don't.

welp, there's no adsl option anymore; only cable from dna or memeg

>Also I own and live next to the land with the tallest tower in the county

Buy the following
>Ubiquiti AF-5XHD
~$450
>Ubiquiti RD-5G30
~$140
Install at the tower.

Install this at your house
>Ubiquiti PowerBeam ac Gen2
~$130

Assuming you're within ~5-10km you should get much better performance than 4G. If you're closer than that, you'll get MUCH faster performance.

Its American towers and they seem to deal only directly with the big guys, so I doubt it. They have both Verizon and at&t on it now. It's a 420 foot tower for what it's worth, so it's a pretty large tower.

I can get LOS from the house though with a short tower. I had considered doing a tower at my house and at some other property I have that faces a road with good access, but the trees are simply too tall to do it feasibly without building truly gigantic towers that would make ham radio enthusiasts jealous.

Also, I knew that cable ran to the road about a half mile from my house. I just checked their local offerings and now they offer gigabit a half mile from me for $105/mo, but all I can get is satellite and mobile (there is legacy DSL I subbed too when I first moved here, it averaged about 60 kbps and cost $45 plus a $25 phone plan and fees).

I guess being so close to really good options make me wary. The road I live on is far from unpopulated, so I'm hopeful they will eventually run cable here. I pay $85/mo as is for 4g, I'd pay $105/mo for spectrum gigabit in a heartbeat.

>I knew that cable ran to the road about a half mile
Just pay the $5-10,000 to get them to run it to your house, it's more than worth the expense.

I've tried to contact spectrum and their work crews, spectrum refuses. I asked a guy who I barely know and he says he thinks there are right of way issues down that road. I don't know how that can be, but maybe.

Sorry, I meant a guy I barely know who happens to work as an installer. Right of way issues was his guess as to why there are no installs down that road.

You just need to talk to the right people.

Find out who owns the road, if there are power lines, you likely just need to get permission from the power company to allow the ISP to run a line.

I recently did this for my own work when getting a new ISP installed on a private park land.

First estimate from comcast was $8000, 2nd estimate from them was for $15000, 3rd estimate from them was free, and we are getting things installed over the next month. The only difference between the 3 estimates was who I was talking to.
National 800-number for businesses got me the $8000 figure, online request for estimate got me the $15000 figure, and calling up the local small business development guy in my state for comcast got me free install.

Just because someone told you it can't be done, doesn't mean that's at all accurate.

This is what it looks like here in Colorado Springs.

I'm on the 60 Mbit plan, fast enough for anything I do.
I'd like something better than 5 Mbit upload, but you have to upgrade to the 250 Mbps plan, and then your upload only goes to 10 Mbit.

Attached: xfinity_july_2018_cosprings.png (1089x2045, 188K)

even the 1000mbps plan only gets you 30-40mbps upload.

The 2000mbps plan at least gives 2000mbps upload, but then you're spending $150-300/month.

I'll call around and ask. I know the county manager and maybe he can get a development council on it or something. I get excited every time I see them doing linework on the area, thinking they're about to string some cable. I think I had just resigned myself to waiting for 5g.

With lines that close, assuming you can do overhead, you're looking at under $5,000 easily, and could potentially get it paid for by the ISP.
