Where in the World is Bob Saget?

a lot of internet providers are now throttling anything that is video.
they refuse to expand their network infrastructure because "its too expensive".

Somehow I completely missed this post.

I've read that a lot of people who have the same issues that I do believe the company (CenturyLink) is throttling videos. One comment said that whenever they call to complain that YouTube doesn't work, the person on the other line hangs up as soon as they hear the word "YouTube".

I went to Ikea today.

1) This lady was wearing lingerie bottoms with no underpants in public!

2) Noms noms for ya'll!

Lox with greens and a mustard and dill dressing!

Chicken and Orzo Soup

Swerdy Meatbulls with lingonberry sauce!

Chocolate Cake for dessert.

With soda and coffee, only $17 for the whole meal!

I was such a little piggy today.

all the images are broken just saying..
only the piggie seems to work.

Most probably, because they want the clients or the companies that use their infrastructure to pay premium.
which is BS as they already are paying for internet access.. the clients are paying to USE the infrastructure for whatever they want.
They complain about costs of services like netflix.. yet most of these ISPS are swimming in record profits...

I'm pretty sure they just want to kill netflix (just like the mayor music companies wants to kill the internet music stores) because it affects their TV and on-demand revenues (and Ad revenues).
Most of the ISPS that want to kill the net neutrality thing.. are the ones who are triple play and mostly cable companies with big megacorporations behind them ( Comcast for example)

The infrastructure complaints aren't completely made up.

But, they COULD solve them if they wished.

Comcast is quite happy with streaming services, like Hulu. Much of Xfinity's streaming services are provided by Hulu.

Netflix and Hulu have similar content agreements (though, Netflix gets content at a later date, they can keep the content available longer).

Oh No. I'd be changing that timeshare to WDW. Oy

We don't own at Hilton Head. We use our Boardwalk points when we stay outside of a home resort (BWV, BCV, BLT, Aulani). We'll be there for a week. It's nice in the winter as a break from the cold and a chance to see relatives. We haven't been during the summer in over two years. The beach is nice, but now that I'm 19, there aren't any age-specific activities for me on property anymore like there was when I was younger. I was looking forward to seeing the girls, but my aunt had to take so much time off to get custody of them that now she's working weekends, plus financially I don't think they can swing it. My parents are happy that it's just us; my dad doesn't like kids. I thought about staying home and making the excuse that I have to work, but I don't have to work and I hate my job, so I don't want to work. Plus I'm pretty certain that I won't be going on vacation with them next June, so...might as well. On the bright side, my favorite CM will be happy to see me. We'll be back to WDW in August.

What they are generally looking for are high use. They have enough pipe (in most areas) that they aren't terribly worried about normal users.

What people don't understand is that, under current rules, the carriers pay each other. It's called "peering".

So, if you are hitting servers based out of California from, say, here in GA on comcast...like, lets say youtube's servers...

The traffic will go through your local router (be it one you own or your cable modem...which isn't really a modem, it's a router...), then out to your local Node (probably within a mile or so of your house, but not necessarily), and onto the cable companies infrastructure, with a few hops. At some point it will reach the edge of the lines controlled by your cable company and it will need to "hop" to a different network controlled by someone else.

When it "hops" your cable provider actually PAYS the other provider (Level3, Quest, Verizon, AT&T, whomever...) for that traffic.

So, if some company is running a website, say, based out of California, that is popular with people in NYC, this can lead to quite a bit of expense (not just on their network).

It's not the primary reason ISPs aren't fond of it, but it is a factor.

I'll fix that in a second then.

Ok, try now.

Oh, and if you all are curious where much of this stuff lives...it lives in places like these.

It's where I spent my day. Though, my Datacenter looks similar, but not exactly like this. The floor tiles are removable so you can run cable and power (and other things) into the racks underneath it.

Here's my rack (bit messy...but I'm working on that...I just started moving things around so I don't have things tied down yet)...

My babeez!





Sliding rails are like the spinning rims of the IT world.



What you are looking at there are two domain controllers (control usernames and passwords for users)/ file servers, an XMPP chat server, 20 TB of Drobo Storage (the black box with 5 green lights), 2 VoIP phone servers that process and handle over 70k calls monthly, a Call Recording server that records all of those phone calls, four web servers, four SQL DB servers, a Keyboard Video and Mouse system (so I can use all these computers), an eFax host, an automated text messaging system, a Quickbooks server and a security device.

Is it my iPad? All of your attachments are coming up Error.
Also, your post from this morning never did load.

I'd say it's because I'm Canadian, but there's only one person here who holds that against me.

Afraid 'tis time to turn in. Hope to be able to visit again soon. Busy last full week of teaching the youth (plus a couple of interviews for a new teaching venue), so I fly in and like when I can.

I'm not sure if it is a Yay! or Oh No! Best of Luck whatever you decide, difficult choice.

Figures, I just wake up from my nap and y'all fly the coop!

Nap, it is beddie bye time!

Oh, and the reason why it's called the web?

Because it looks like one.

The term "Net" and "Internet" is short for Internetwork...because that's how it works. Linking many smaller networks together. Those networks are represented by different colors on the map abolve. iirc, Red is Verizon, yellow is AT&T, green is Quest, black is Level 3...etc...but, I could have them jumbled in my mind.

Drawing out specific connections between endpoints is represented as a cloud by network designers.

This is where the term "cloud" came from. Really, nothing major has changed on the internet the past few years. It's just the "terms" have changed.

If you have a static IANA issued IP, you are an endpoint, and technically could be considered as being "in the cloud".

Anyhow, sorry if this bored you, but I thought I'd share.

I was such a little piggy today.

And now they appear!

I would need to contact a manager. If I were the manager I'd either ask her to leave or call the police. I can't even walk around my house like that, my family would be mortified as would I. Bet they were cool and airy though.

I love that Chocolate cake from Ikea. I don't care for the meatballs. The rest is yummy. Do you know if you you get the free Ikea Rewards card you get free coffee or hot tea when you show your card?

There's a variety of things that could be causing issues like that. In transit (meaning, your ISP or more likely their peering partner) is one of them.

There are ways to test that though.

I liked this post cause you seem to know what you are talking about not because I understood a dang thing you said.

I am happily now in a 100Mbps/10Mbps cable*/fiber line.
