cat6/cat6a at minimum cat7/cat7a if available if you live there long enough you will eventually need the speed of a better cable 10gbe should last you a while
also conduits to every box and never ever use fiberglass insulation its cheap suuure but you don't really want to be scratching for the next couple months every time you have to do any work in it do you? don't have that with any other insulation type
we (customers) have been asking to eliminate bundling for years
i hate that we are starting out on a bad foot with sling tv bundling channels...i wish they had at least attempted real a la carte pricing before going to this ship
where i live? none. at work? i have two cable companies to chose from suddenlink or diamondnet
or if you were talking about wired broadband providers i have 0 at home and 3 at work i can choose from
att max 12/1 $40/mo ipdsl suddenlink max 8/1 $135/mo cable diamondnet max 50/50 $157/mo city fiber
the city has chosen not to extend their network past city limits
suddenlink is too busy letting their network rot to spend $5 in upgrades
and att has no plans for any upgrades to this area for at least the next 2 years aside from the switch from standard dsl to ipdsl
the local electric co-op that sells power to my house has fiber run to a substation down the street from me but the board has made the decision to keep their service streamlined by only selling electricity....i have to start going to those meetings
by non standard you mean the old analog cellphone network they shut off back in 2008? you can't even call 911 on a analog cellphone today because the network doesn't exist anymore.
last i heard they were already planning to shut off both 1x and evdo service around 2020 and they dont even have anything to replace the voice capacity yet no basic phone verizon sells today supports anything above evdo rev a (and last i checked they only had one basic phone that did evdo rev a!)
I see websites all the time now that say "This website uses cookies" and i wonder what dolt decided to ban them its a browser setting you can turn them off if your ok with not being able to stay logged in anywhere but requiring webites to tell you they use cookies is silly i can check chrome and see that for this page i have 7 cookies from/. and 11 from other places i think i can safely conclude that/. might possibly use cookies
if i know someone is going to call me on the standard cellular network in in one minute i can have the phone connected to the network and waiting for the call in less than 30 seconds
yeah i don't know if 3 million people nationwide decided to turn their cellphones off and then on again at the same time if that would cause issues
but when 300 people get off the plane and turn their phones back on (if they turned them off in the first place) it doesn't appear to cause any problems
On second thought you may have meant the calling party would need to find a local broadcast tower to get your attention maybe so but my thoughts were a nationwide transmitter network or a satellite broadcast setup while a localized setup should be pretty easy to setup if you already have a lot of hams in your area but that would likely greatly limit the area in which you could recive calls
I would think it might even save your battery life since your phone isn't having to keep track of all the cell towers around it all the time it does however cause problems for the calling party as you have no way to know if your call has reached the the person you wanted to call unless they chose to answer otherwise as far as the network can see the phone is off and has no idea to its location
does 911 really need to know i was at the valero on wheeler street for 3 & 1/2 hours 6 months ago? NO they need to know where i am right NOW that i have no problem with but they don't have any need to know where i was an hour ago
well unless they can travel through time in which case yes they should have access to all of your historical information that way they can go back to when you were at a bar an hour before and punch your lights out before your get a chance to get behind the wheel
This could be partly solved by making a cellphone that only transmitted when you used it meaning they would only have your location when you made or received a call and nowhere in between
a constant network connection is not really necessary for calls
you could redesign the cell networks to do this but its not necessary
the simplest way to go about this would be to have a secondary system controling power to a standard phone transceiver
easy way would be to get the guts out of a cheap phone and build around that i wouldn't bother trying to get my own cell chipset built as afaik that would require me to add in a patriot act style backdoor which would defeat the purpose of the whole project so yes better to just cut the power to a prebuilt chipset
the secondary sytem could be rigged up to listen on certain channels for encrypted broadcast information delivered by broadcast radio would consist of txt messages caller id info and incoming call notification if someone wants to talk to you they can text you and you can call them back or when someone calls you can decide if you want to turn on your transiver to receive the call
This by and large would solve the historical location privacy issue no calls no history and you get to stay in contact at the same time text messages should even be practical to receive without disclosing location
of course of you insist browsing the web every 10 minutes on your phone this isn't going to help you either way
also see here for your car location privacy
http://yro.slashdot.org/story/...
you don't even need to have a car made in the last 50 years they have a picture of you and your car outside national bank of Kansas 223 times over the last three years and they thinks you might be up to something
what worries me is this is Historical location history not live or last 24 hours they can go back and get you because they were surfing through the cars and saw you jaywalking accross the street to the hardware store 3 years ago
what if i decide to run for congress in 2020 and they find out back in 2015 i had my car parked near a fire hydrant i would be ruined!!
I think they just train it for specific phrases and words it only has to pick between about 20 departments at most and most of them are run by the same techs
nah but online backups would be nice or just being able to get large files from home or work in under an hour example its faster to drive to work and back than download a 700mb iso file i have saved there
comcast isn't available here and since i can't get actual broadband at home ill tell you what i can get at work
suddenlink for business cable
max speed i can get is 8/1 for $134.95/mo
att uverse ip-dsl
max speed i can get is 12/1 for $55/mo ($40/mo after discounts for having phone service $5 and promotional rates $10)
diamondnet city fiber
lowest speed i can get 10/10 for $54.95/mo
highest speed i can get 50/50 for $156.95/mo
keep in mind none of the 3 have any usage caps for business and the city fiber has none for residents
I know of open office and libreoffice.
I just found libreoffice a couple weeks ago as i needed to open an old microsoft works file and open office does not support them
here in the united states of Oklahoma i can get a 12/1 business class uverse line from att for $40/mo + $30/mo for business phone
or i can go with suddenlink cable for business and pay $205/mo for 12/2
or i can go through the city's commercial fiber and get 10/10 for $55/mo
no usage limits on any of them for their business plans
I would have thought people would be happy to have a bunch of small mostly inconsequential earthquakes instead of one large damaging one every few years.
Att uverse at work supports ipv6
Verizon wireless claims to support ipv6 but you can't route to their addresses stateful firewall or something
So i can connect to equipment at work with either ipv4 or ipv6 but if i need to connect to anything on vzw I'm sol because the ipv4 is nat'ed and the ipv6 is firewalled
