I'm pretty sure the end user can filter anything they want. We still maintain a filter on the public parks around here. After all you don't want little johnny to have to ask mommy what the strange man with doing with his thing out on a park bench.
I really want to know so I can get people flagged for making false statements to that effect. We don't have a firewall at all on our internet customers. Its wide open and has been for years. We found throttling ports was self defeating in that the torrent hoarders used encryption and other means to hide their activity anyway. The filter we had was actually causing an additional 30ms of latency and I have missed it at all.
No I would have spotted bad hardware or a badly configured cpe device with our monitoring tools. Its really sucks when you deal with paltry little t1 lines and you end up working on a system that bears little resemblance to the equipment you normally work on. Truth be told a look at the CTMS log files would have showed a ip deadlock.
Yep. You see there is this protocol known as snmp and you can use it to monitor the rf levels and the status of the ethernet and shucks all kinds of things. You should look it up.
I get one or two people a year, usually security camera guys who call us up and claim we are blocking ports. Jokes on them though. We haven't had a firewall at all on the public network in six years. I ripped out the shitty redhat filter they used to run and replaced it with nothing. These days my favorites are torrent hoarders who call and threaten to call the FCC for violating net neutrality. They all claim to be pros to.
Simple config fix could have prevented that. Most CMTS have a dhcp verify feature that prevent that kind of thing. Usually its turned on to prevent some guy with a dynamic account from setting up his ip address as a static. Also the guy may have said 'test' but what he meant was let me go look at the logs. We are a small ISP so when I start working a problem I don't log into the management system, I SSH into the equipment and pull live data. I don't remember a time I've ever been wrong when I said its not the modem. Also I love it when I ask them to power cycle the modem and they say "okay Its unplugged" and I say "Then why is it still online".
We had some guy who set up cacti to monitor his connection and he claimed he went down every evening around 6:00pm. We looked at our monitoring and sure enough every day his modem went off line around 6:00pm. The cable modem right next door to it never went offline. Sure enough on the day we showed up around 6 to look at what the possible problem could be we noticed the cleaning lady had unplugged the whole rack and had plugged in her vacuum cleaner. Then suddenly the 'pro' noticed that his router had a up time of less than twenty four hours. He didn't have any monitoring on that, just traffic. So I would say around 80% of the time when a 'pro' calls us with a problem, its not our problem.
We vaccinate. I"m old enough to remember measles, mumps and chickenpox. You don't have a up to date vaccination card your kid doesn't go to school around here. We call those antivaxers in California idiots and for good reason. I have a autistic child and I never blamed the vaccinations. Our modern society freaks out when kids walk home from a park on their own.
Why aren't they freaking about the little plague vectors walking around spreading disease to those to young to vacinate and those with weakened immune systems?
The ever changing image for CNN has included -4600 for wolf blitzers epic fail on jeopardy to the current one here. The story as I read it was that CNN wanted him to pay for use of their logo and he decided to create his on.
To think of useless crap. Of course they pour money on it and make it their way. But still what a useless thought. The truth is most people have no awareness of those things and as time goes on they will have even fewer thoughts unless it goes down. Then they will respond with anger at the first person they expect to fix it. Its already that way, no need for more time to pass.
They couldn't identify me, so experian sent me a credit application to fill out. Its really pathetic that they can't use information the government already has. Instead they rely on some private company who only cares about the bottom line. Its our governments perverse need to reduce public systems in favor of inefficient and incompetent private models. They get paid even when they do a bad job. So what you really have here is some private company using data it gathered. I would bet it was in their contract and its not even shady, its just another government sell out of its people.

Seriously, it seems they know how to entice the befuddled masses in to clicking on their garbage.
Just keep re reading what I posted until you understand what I said. Reading comprehension, how does it work?

Good luck putting it in bridge mode on the crap AT&T gives out. The last Motorola cheapo I looked at didn't have that capability, just DMZ.

The lawyers union sticks together.
Hey! That was my question.
Its not like corporations are a democracy anyway.
Take the drive out and scan it in a dock. Side load the drives registry and scan it. Its happened before for less capitalist reasons.

Those poor kids might have escaped the tornado if their car hadn't been limited to 45 miles per hour.
Kim Jong Un needed new engineers to build his automatic cheese maker.
Last one was unknown consequences. Thats a pretty safe thing to say that the end will come from the unknown.
I've seen it before back in the day. They are not very efficient but they could cause a critical spike if they are not isolated from a bus.
