average latency rankings of South African ISPs for Q1 2025." ~ MyBroadband
Time to try alternatives to the arrogant likes of Afrihost, Axxess and Vox who get away with atrocious service levels.
When things work, fine, but wait until something goes wrong or you have a special request - oh boy!

@landley @jschauma @ryanc @0xabad1dea yeah, the exhaustion problem would've been shoved back with a #64bit or sufficiently delayed by a 40bit number.
Unless we also hate #NAT and expect every device to have a unique static #IP (which is a #privacy nightmare at best that "#PrivacyExtensions" barely fixed.)
I guess using a #128bit address space was inspired by #ZFS doing the same before, as the folks who designed both wanted to design a solution that clearly will outlive them (way harder than COBOL has outlived Grace Hopper)...
If I was @BNetzA I would've mandated #DualStack and banned #CGNAT (or at least the use of CGNAT in #RFC1918 address spaces) as well as #DualStackLite!
The one uniting thing across the world is that #ISPs suck. My #fiber connection is broken since the 14th. I called and got an appointment with a technician for yesterday, the 20th.
The tech didn't come, so I called again today. Apparently the appointment is still open, but since it's a contractor, they can't tell me anything else. So now I am supposed to be at home for an indefinite amount of time (days?), waiting for a call to recieve the technician within 30minutes.
Massive expansion of Italy’s Piracy Shield underway despite growing criticism of its flaws
Walled Culture has been following closely Italy’s poorly-designed Piracy Shield system. Back in December we reported how copyright companies used their access to the Piracy Shield system to order Italian Internet service providers (ISPs) to block access to all of Google Drive for the entire country, and how malicious actors could similarly use that unchecked power to shut down critical […]

@fsfe OFC @BNetzA confirmed that, since that's literally codified as per $73 Telecommunications Law!

AT&T killed 5G home Internet service in New York instead of complying with a new state law that requires ISPs to offer $15 or $20 plans to people with low incomes.
