Poor people should get slower internet speeds, American ISPs tell FCC

Re: Rich man poor man

Municipal broadband wouldn't solve this.

How condescending to assume that people that live in areas with slower or non-existent broadband are poor!

Re: Well, if they don't think it's fair...

No need for municipal broadband to screw everything up. Just support your local, independent ISPs.

Is this article a joke? I don't mean what WISPA is advocating for, but the premise that people don't pay more for faster Internet?

In its current state, Ubiquiti's EdgeSwitch won't have much of an edge on anyone

FWIW: The best compatibility I've had with modules have come from FiberStore. Sometimes it takes them a time or two to get the vendor coding correct for vendors that care about such things, but they'll work through it.

Re: The problem with es-16-xg is not just the SFP+ cables

"Intel X520" As a user of Intel X520 cards, that's your problem.

Did you see the build quality issues that have been mentioned in other reviews?

Apparently a standard browser defence loadout of AdBlock, Ghostery and Privacy Badger is enough to prevent it from popping up.

Don't use that sort of garbage in the first place, but if you insist, whitelist infrastructure and things you're reviewing?

Ubiquiti does have a fairly unique (among enterprise vendors) support model. That said, most of their customer base loves it.

If they don't properly support DACs, I can't fault the reviewer for the conclusion they reached. Half-assed products don't have a place in our industry.

Re: Not Impressed with UniFi

The UniFi controller absolutely needs a way to disable the platforms you don't intend to use from showing up in the controller.

UniFi isn't expensive by first world standards.

I've been UniFi since the first UniFi AP and haven't had any of the issues you describe. I run the controller at all times, but I've heard of others just using it to setup the AP and it's never needed again.

Is Windows 10 ignoring sysadmins' network QoS settings?

Re: Holy shit.. THAT'S why Microsoft bought Skype...

You do realize that's intentional on Skype's behalf, right? It's purposely difficult to stop.
