If it's fiber, you don't need the modem. You'll still need it once every few months.

Things you'll need:

  1. your own router
  2. cheap 4 port switch (1gig pref)

Setup: Connect gpon (the little fiber converter box they installed on the wall near modem) wan to any port on 4port switch. Then from switch to gpon port of modem (usually red or green port). Make sure modem fully syncs. Once this happens, you can move the cable from the modem to your own routers wan port. Done! Allow router a few moments to sync as well.

Now, every once in a while they'll send a line refresh signal that will break this, or if a power outage occurs. In such case, you'll just plug back in their modem, move cable back to gpon port of modem, wait for sync. Move cable back to router.

Edit: (after thought) put all this equipment on a battery backup and you'll still have Internet during short power outages.

Oof

Don't worry, you're not missing out on much. Is it better than...self service? Ya sometimes, but not always.

Think of it as a personal Netflix kinda thing. Generally hosted yourself.

I think this might be too 40k obscure for the masses XD

Glad I don't really watch content anymore. Though, between the Roku TV my kid has, and the big Samsung TV in our living room...my pihole is constantly hammered by both of them.

I just wish the games that are remade/remastered are basically just graphic updates, with some bug fixes and minor qol additions. That's it. Not like what they did to ff7.

Hell, diablo 2 Remaster was good. The addition of being able to swap between new and old graphics on the fly is amazing tbh.

It's hard to not play a female in Skyrim, just cuz the Dibela buff you can get very early on.

Yup. While not perfect, it's my preferred distro now. Well, has been for a few years now.

See, this would be a raise or bonus payout for Comcast and such here in the US. Oh, and a 5$ fine.

I had an unusual lesson from my parents regarding bullies. They told me, that if they found out that the I didn't even try defending myself from bullies and found out, I'd still get whooped at home. It seems kinda cruel at surface level. But when the time ultimately came, dam straight I fought back tooth and nail. And no, they were not abusive in any way. Even reflecting back as an almost 40yr old adult. They were both prison guards/swat people. So they had a very different perspective of bullying I guess.
