They most probably sold you 'up to 1 Gb' bandwidth, not just '1 Gb'. Overhead is about the same in these cases. Your losses are negligible. It's more painful having 4-5 (on worst time periods/peers) or 6-7 (on best) of the 'up to 10 Gb' (clearly sold as such) fiber access I have.
Legally they are physically unable to provide the gigabit they claim I could get.
That's the problem here.
Sure, due to the shared medium nature they do not promise to always have even particularly close to a full gigabit available for me, but that's documented according to the 3 residential internet SLA thresholds the BNetzA (Germany's FCC; except they also regulate power and gas grid) defines and that a provider has to cough up numbers in an info sheet at the time of sale.
The issue is that if they are physically incapable of delivering the up-to they sell and it's not due to the unpredictable nature of e.g. radio reception strength or POTS wiring quality (ADSL), this very quickly very strongly reeks of fraud.
Even just a little bit is fraud, just as systematically under-delivering e.g. gasoline would be. Think if you bought that in cans and they say they're e.g. 5 gallon (or 20 liter) each, and at nominal temperature, none of the cans you can actually find for sale end up having the full quantity, always being at least an ounce (~30ml) short.
Very much indeed, a 'rogue ONT' can screw another nearly 63 users' acess in my area. Oversubscription is very noticeable, but just not problematic. 10G FTTH delivering 60~70% of the bandwidth is enough I guess. And latencies or jitter aren't a thing either.
> Romania is a good example of what happens when lots of small operators aggressively wire dense apartment blocks: brutal competition, low barrier to entry, and suddenly everyone has insane internet.
And it propagated to Spain thanks to the Romanian DIGI playing their strong bets for a while. I've had the access to the cheapest while also best-uptime-service option because of them on the two places I've lived in the city. They're still deploying as much as they can and meanwhile they offer VULA access where they don't have (In Spain thanks to the NEBA regulation, biggest ISPs are obligated to ease local access for any other operator) own infrastucture.
So it's available also at my parents' as well since a few months ago (Internet access still contracted with another company which honoured the low price offered back then which was subject to some conditions, and even having risen prices as much as three or four times, they've respected them for staying clients). I didn't see the need for the switch, but wouldn't had given much thought to it.
Commision [executive], Council (of Ministers/of the EU) [legislative] and Parliament [legislative] are the three most significant in terms of doing/looking like what any sovereign country government would.
Very nice of you to omit the following sentences of that excerpt, where it proceeds to develop its point on the argument for institution of an English-language based education system on British India. He praised how superior in quantity and quality were the Sanskrit or Arabic corpora, compared to European works, in the lyric/poetry. But that no technical or didactical literature amounted to even the most mundane of the European manuals like those used by then in England humble schools (and it seems completely plausible).
He was a fierce abolitionist. So much for accomplishing the mission of allegedly, judging by comments in this thread, 'deranged imperialist destruction and chaos imposition over the lesser ones'.
I'm not much versed into his speeches/stance on copyright, but I can vouch for the fact that the most honest and well-intended moves (not by him, by other figures) in defence of everyone's intellectual property were done in the same century. From the Twentieth onwards, it has been only twisted for the interest of a select few, and needless to ask where we are today in terms of caring about intellectual property of anybody.
[1] Just saw your other comment where you go on with his nauseating words. One just cannot comprehend that framing the past on the actual status quo is as futile as to not being even wrong, I guess?
> “Would you be ok if I worked for X, and my work resulted in the deaths of children?”
At this point, one can very well expect that working for X (as in 'X, the website formerly known as Twitter') will MOST SURELY result in the deaths of children.
He didn't state 'by majority' anywhere in that comment. Approved. By popular vote, by some portion of the totality of popular vote, unspecified as far as the post goes.
Approved by enough popular vote to attain plurality. I'll take your quibble as a cute fixation with correctness when it comes to statistics, and not as it otherwise tends to manifest.
