It is business fraud to charge one rate for business and another for private use. All instigate by BT (British Telecum) which insists there is a difference through trolling in the market place and lobbying pooliticians. The cost is still $14 for fibre modem and router cost is $600 per 1U rack. As far as the routers are concerned, there isn't any difference in the packets. A heavy domestic user, a light business user, etc cannot physically mark the packets as different so there is no legal basis on which to charge filthy amounts of money for different customers. The rule is you should only charge based on what it cost you to provide. So heavy users can pay more if they need heavy use. The router settings easily set to rate limit users without any physical infrastructure changes. Why do you think that some ISP's change your outgoing public IP address ,there is no good technical reason assuming they have enough public IP address for their customers to have at least an IPV4 /32. They were set up to protect cable cumpanies from 'cord cutters' or we the people who want to watch TV through internet. If you got your own IP address, no problems with fully connected internet TV and also making your own streaming channels that subtracts their audience. Now net neutrality to steal bandwidth that you paid for to speed up their teevee and slow down your own (i.e. we the people) services and servers. I do hope the class idiot do not work for Hyperoptic ,to be that clueless and work in the industry. Mummy and Daddy probably have Hyperoptic at home. One last thing while the spirit of the season is still with me please kill file him then we don't clutter this news group with replys to his ill informed posts. Troll!!! Thin NG is specifically for the well being of broadband users and discussing how we are getting ripped off is part of it. |

Why do you think that some ISP's change your outgoing public IP address ,there is no good technical reason assuming they have enough public IP address for their customers to have at least an IPV4 /32. It is simpler than that. 1 of the biggest costs for any carrier style company is "people time" which here translates into manual config. Using DHCP means all the customers get their IP addressing and related config info from a central server and there is less tinkering needed with per customer config. A nice side effect is that - you get to keep your IP address unless you leave the router turned off (since DHCP bakes "refresh to current address" into the protocol - although technically it is dynamic) - IP addresses get recycled by defult when someone leaves.

I looked up https://www.thinkbroadband.com/packages Interesting - a lot of cumpanies are now switching to claiming to be selling full fibre when they are selling copper local poop. That leaves Ofcum with a dilema for your list. Either rename G.Slow to full-fibre or call it full-fibre and rob consumers out of a lot of moneeey with deceptive marketing. Me thinks offcum will choose the latter. They always have to sell BT (British Telecum) local poop copper.

Most of the ISP industry use a radius server/s, but it does similar things to DHCP . I think it capable of more but I am not sure, read the below if you are interested. This assumes that the routers config is given in response to a user-name and password combination usually called dialling in cisco parlance. BT don't for instance do this they work on telephone numbers to allocate IP details. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_server A nice side effect is that - you get to keep your IP address unless you leave the router turned off (since DHCP bakes "refresh to current address" into the protocol - although technically it is dynamic) - IP addresses get recycled by defult when someone leaves.
