Like, we're two women, what interest do we have in hiring victims of human trafficking. These guys will literally assault you to get you to take a card.

vegas is pretty OK to live in if you don't actually live in Vegas, see: Summerlin if you're upper-middle class and old or Henderson west of the Boulder Highway otherwise gently caress north vegas with a rake though!!

my fiber ISP isn't using link encryption so if you plug in directly to their box you also get a copy off all the traffic destined to the other houses on your segment whoopsiedoodles guess nobody noticed because the wan link on everyone's router just drops it

how is your service delivered? is it IP end-to-end like real GPON or is it VDSL/HFC?

lol you're probably on VDSL and there's multiple VCs. that would cause a fuckton of spurious traffic. e: i wish i spuriously dead

cheese-cube posted:how is your service delivered? is it IP end-to-end like real GPON or is it VDSL/HFC? I don't know how I can explain the terms Passive Optical Network or Fiber to the Home any better than I already have but you're an idiot. Anyway, the way all PON rollouts work is that there is a single transceiver that blasts downstream traffic for up to 64 subscribers then each has their own ONT box to push their upstream traffic back. Everyone sees the same downstream light to the ONT but the traffic for your box should be wrapped in link encryption so the stuff for other houses is discarded but this is not happening for my ISP so everything not going out over TLS is visible to all the other subscribers on my segment.

If you think something is amiss, reporting to the FCC is a good call. It is my understanding that reprisal for reporting them to the FCC would be some sort of crime or tort. (Not a lawyer) Generic expressions of "hey this company sucks" can probably be met with "ok lol bye", to put it all legalesey. This copying?
