Opting out of ad tracking : The least user friendly menu I've seen! #Orange , the french #ISP offers you a free #TV box with your internet plan! The catch? Of course, it's filled with #ads . I mean, it's free, you're the product etc, so I get it but I still go to the settings to disable targetted ads, which is on by default OF COURSE, but there's a nifty "Deny all" (Tout refuser) button! But after clicking it, it does NOT disable everything, as most of their advertising partners are set to "Mixed consent" (where "Legitimate interest" data is still on!). That's not confusing at all! So to disable them, you have to go one by one on each of their partners, scroll down, enable and disable the tracking checkbox to disable it. Peak example of unfriendly #uxdesign ! Multiply that with the ~100 partners they have, and I spent a solid 15 minutes just scrolling through menus to disable #tracking . At least I guess you CAN do it if you're motivated enough? @privacy@lemmy.world @technologie #privacy

Aparentemente mastodon.social está siendo bloqueado por mi ISP, Express. Guat de fac. Con una VPN puedo acceder sin problemas. En cuanto la desactivo, pum, se queda cargando un par de minutos hasta que falla con un error de timeout. Gente de Argentina, pueden decirme si pueden ver la página y qué proveedor de Internet tienen? #mastodonsocial #argentina #isp #internet

The internet monopolist in our area just raised the price from US$90 to US$100. An 11% price increase without any notice because "fuck you, we can, customer". This is for a meager 500 down/20 up connection; internet only, nothing else. One hundred bloody bucks. But yeah, "I'd rather have a private plan", capitalism, free markets, murrica, yada-yada... tough luck when there's no competition. #Spectrum #Internet #ISP #Inflation

I’m tinkering with a free #BGP peering service (by own VMs) for hobbyist AS owners, including free upstream connectivity at various locations. It’s still in the early stages, but I’d love to hear what features the community would find most useful. Wondering how and why? With @BoxyBSD@mastodon.bsd.cafe and @BoxedTux@mastodon.social, I’m already running platforms that provide free VPS instances for educational purposes, learning and testing for years now. I guess, providing real AS and peering services (maybe even sponsoring LIR in cooperation [but this would cost money]) could also be very interesting for several ones, apart from the DN42 network. Happily looking for feedback… #isp #network #networking #ipv6 #as #autonomoussystem #ipv4 #free #opensource #devops

#FCC to end Biden-era rule that forces #ISP s to list all their fees - Ars Technica https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/07/fcc-to-end-biden-era-rule-that-forces-isps-to-list-all-their-fees/

Videotron cable: 1Gbps/50Mbps. Bell Canada: 3Gbps/3Gbps, ~ same price. 23 years with Videotron (left Bell after bad experience), thought it worth trying Bell for a month. Our address changed to a nonexistent address on the checkout page. Online support: ‘that’s bad, I’ll place the order for you’. Ask to see the contract and final order before I agree, they say no, assuring me: It is correct. I declined Last message from support is a doozy! We are staying with Videotron #bell #videotron #ISP

New ISP. I need a dedicated IP to open all the ports on my router. So naturally I call them on the phone. It goes like this... Operator: Hello, how can we help you? Me: Hello, I need a dedicated IP to open up all of my ports on my router. Operator: Sure, can we call you back on this number? Me: Yeah, no problem. Operator: Ok, so have a nice day! Me: Thanks, you too! Now tell me... Why isn't every damn ISP working like this? You need something, they don't hide it behind a shitty fee you have to pay or just ragebait you on the phone. They get the job done. #tech #selfhosting #isp

Got a email from my isp cause I portforwarded my pihole. #fucktelekom #isp #pihole

Well shit, I'll see how long I keep my P4L plan I had to involve the FCC to keep a few years back. AT&T is garbage for wireless, I'm sure their acquired fiber isn't going to honor my low rate from CL. #isp
