I don’t think I’ve every given a status update. Unless telling people I’m playing a game with that I gotta go piss is a status update.

You keep trying to convince me that because someone can make a mistake there is no difference between the two. You are not a network guy or you would accept just because someone occasionally fat fingers a table entry on BGP it doesn’t brink a hard link down to the less reliable wireless links. Everything you have said is basically a amateurs view of it. I get it you like wireless and you don’t think that wireless link you have is connected to any routers that use a hard link or BGP. I’m done I said earlier I couldn’t convince you simply because you lack the experience to make such a statement.

Why wouldn’t I want my connection to be stable and reliable? I have a tunnel to work that is stable. I have ssh sessions that last until I restarted one side or the other.

You keep moving around from one useless point to another. I’m making a basic statement about your statement about how a wireless connection is just as reliable and better than a hard link. Its not and its pretty obvious that it isn’t. I don’t use spectrum. Never have. Don’t care if they don’t know how to manage BGP. I know or at least I knew back when I was using it for a year to balance out two small connections to keep the plant I was responsible for from getting congested. It would probably take a week or two to get back into the groove on it.

We took over half the households that ATandFee had in our service area in six years by doing it right. As bad as ATandFee’s management is the techs and plant engineers are top notch. I know some of them and they know how to make it all work. They also know the places where they have the most trouble is where they have to rely on microwave links. They know and I know. Anyone who has maintained a wireless infrastructure knows it. As a result of the great uncongested speed provided by that cable plant ATandFee finally started putting in fiber in the area. It isn’t oversubscribed and I know I’m getting what I’m paying for.

My router logs all these things because I have no trouble setting it up and maintaining it. Its trivial for me. I know they haven’t oversubscribed the line because I know how to test for it. I also know because of the throughput logs on my router. I know that my old ISP. The one that I ran the back end largely by myself for a decade learned not to oversubscribe. That when the QOS was just a little faster than they were paying for so all the speed tests went over the speed. I know because even though I went another direction after the buyout I maintained a professional relationship with them. I know the very next year after they took over they upgraded the whole plant by moving to node plus one and upgrading to docsis 3.1 All the subdivided areas upgraded expanded the return frequencies on the the HFC plant. I know just like I would know how stable and how much ingress there was on any wireless link I had. The two links I still have any dealings with have seen the ingress increase steadily over the past decade and there is no hope it is going to drop. I know because I’ve been a network guy since token ring was the thing.

Who cares that traders use shortwave for trading. I bet that is some legacy shit right there.

Under ideal conditions or any conditions a wireless connection can never equal a hard link. End of story. You keep trying to convince me what you said had merit when Its clear I don’t think it does. Unless you live in a dessert you are exposed to constant interference including congestion brought about by simply sharing that single link aka the wireless spectrum you operate at with everyone else nearby. Whereas If you have a fiber link back to the switch and the line isn’t oversold you wont have congestion problem on your last mile. The last mile of your connection is shared with everyone whereas mine currently isn’t being shared with anyone or more to the point I get what I pay for with little worry someone is gonna install a shitty appliance and start knocking my internet out.

Let me tell you a little story about a 2008 Chevy truck. Around 2018 we had daily interference with our satellite receivers. It was a ongoing problem and we couldn’t find anything wrong. We changed out LNB’s and even the receivers. Ran temporary cable replacements on the ground. Finally someone noticed out outdoor wifi was going down at the same time as our other problems. We fired of a spectrum analyzer hooked to a tuned 5ghz dipole and nothing out of the ordinary. The next morning our CEO was calling cause fox news went out in the middle of his daily indoctrination and he was getting calls from his assholes buddies he golfed with were not getting their fix of manufactured outrage. We go to the headend and sure enough its out and the spectrum analyzer was showing a massive signal wider than the analyzer could display at once.

We of course were dealing with the problem and didn’t notice the twenty year old in one of our old trucks loading up what he needed to bury some drops that day. We also didn’t notice as soon as he drove off that everything started working again. After a few minutes of getting our ass chewed when the CEO called and wanted to know what we did and we had done nothing, our operations guy called the kid in the chevy back for something unrelated. As soon as he drove up everything went tits up again and it dawned on us all it was that truck. We switched him to a different vehicle and parked that one. After replacing a number of parts the problem went away on the truck.

It doesn’t matter if its the weather or if it exists in you corner of the world. It can be anything cratering your signal. I’ve seen old lighting ballast interfere and all manner of electrical appliances. I know you can’t be convinced because it hasn’t happened to you yet but wireless is a poor poor substitute for a hard link.

Starlink and your short hall wireless solution are not really in the same ball park. I’m sorry for your problems with ATandFee. I use them for 1gb fiber. It hasn’t dropped once in the nine months or so I’ve had it. I had cable internet for 14 years before that. For ten of those years I was the sysadmin for the company. It was a local Four city cable company that finally sold out to a larger operation. We maintained a really high availability with most outages being upstream of our connections. We helped maintain several wireless bridges for commercial companies who were outside our service area and in heavy rain or even fog the signal would drop on a ten mile shot. The 60ghz short hall links also would also suffer from interference from weather on occasion… No wireless connection is as stable as a fiber link. None of them and they never can be.

I have a neighbor who has access to 1gb cable and 1gb fiber from two ISP’s. Both have high data caps. Instead he is rocking the starlink and I can’t for the life of me figure out how he thinks that shit is somehow better than a hard link.

How can they breath with those on? Must be big supporters of social distancing. /s

Naw. Not exclusively. They come in lots of colors now.

really loud bubbles.

I wonder if they will ever understand how their reactions let us know what is true. I hope not.

This is always a good option. I don’t know who would downvote this.

Its maintaining the appearance of morality that was holding him back. Now he isn’t even trying.

Yeah, Thats why. He just rolled over after fucking everyone in the country over first.

Blank! Blank!! Your not looking at the big picture.

What a twat. She is the reason trump got in first. They keep running these shitheads like clinton and blame anyone but themselves for their mistakes. Just like their friends on the other side of their one party system the republicans.

A bug eyed alcoholic has timing issues. Who could have guessed?

No amount of weak old man outrage can put that genie back in the bottle.

Oh my call the grammar nazis I mispselled a word.

The beatings will continue until moral improves.
