How to bypass FUP internet Throttling?

My country's ISP networks do not provide truly unlimited internet because they always apply FUP (Fair Usage Policy) speed limit throttling once a certain usage threshold is reached. Before the FUP is applied, I can use the internet at a speed of 20 Mbps. After the FUP is applied, my internet speed is throttled to 1 Mbps, which is extremely slow, and it feels like I've gone 20 years back and am using 2G internet. It's really frustrating to use the internet with a 1 Mbps speed limit. Everything is slow (browsing takes forever to load, YouTube keeps buffering, and downloading files is at a speed of 125 kbps). So now, I'm looking for a way to bypass the FUP speed limit. I'm struggling here with 1 Mbps ISP throttling. Does anyone know how to bypass the FUP speed limit?

Internet randomly slower

My wifi is suddenly slower because of where I live but I could at least play most comes to a decent degree with some spikes rarely. But for some reason all of a sudden my internet has been terrible to the point where it cant even play streams properly and all games run at like 500 ping. I dont know any possible reasons behind this and I do use an ethernet cord is there anything that could have really happened that i need to check or just unlucky kinda

Redfurio was a infamous YouTuber back in 2021 who have mental issue

His channel was originally called RedFurio 1444. After being terminated twice,

he reappeared on various social media platforms, including TikTok, where he begged people in YouTube comment sections to call his number and offer help. He expressed suicidal thoughts and created fucked up content. For years, he continued to harass people online, with his most recent mention appearing on another platform: Vidlii.

This situation is honestly both terrifying and fascinating, raising questions about why he behaves this way. While his past content was deeply troubling and often self-harm-related, I genuinely hope he is doing better now.

Today, much of RedFurio’s 1444 content is considered lost media. He is now referred to simply as RedFurioYouTubeChannel

What kind of cable is this

Sorry for the poor quality, but can anyone tell me what kind of cable this is? It’s for my Internet. Something must’ve chewed it apart.

Question About internet Speed?

Just curious to find out some simple rough estimate information on what kind of ping/latency I could expect when switching from my current network which I currently Get About 28 - 32Ms latency & zero packet loss while gaming at 120 FPS using a 120Mbps network at the moment I'm just looking to find out what can be expected switching to a 1GB/S provider (Also I'm on console!)

BRBRBRBBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBBRBRBRBRBRBBRBRBRBRBRBBRBRBRBRBRBRB YOUTUBE MYSTERY (BAIT?)

Hi everyone.

I don't know if this channel is already known, but it represents and 3m@rtsc00lb0y & Piper Rocks too closely. It mentions the high miniboots and stuff about being 10 is so fun!! Her bio says she does visual effects, and like singing and dancing. It reminds me a lot of Christina black and even uses the same music. Their latest post was 2 days ago, and it's pretty weird. Her name is ella piper. She also mentions Stephanie baker

I have yet to watch the videos besides a few, so I will update if I find anything

Please let me know if you guys know anything!

(I found her from a comment on a Christina Black video)

www.youtube.com/@ellapiper19

*edit, look at the playlist. Are they not trying to be discreet at all, or is this bait?

Fuck Cox

Seriously fuck cox communications internet. I’ve been having issues with slower speeds and packet loss for months but it’s been 10x worse since Sunday night.

So I wasn’t able to connect to the internet Sunday even though the router and modem showed they were receiving and sending signal, so I called cox they remotely reset my equipment, 20 mins later I still didn’t have internet so I called again. The person I spoke to had me power cycle my modem and after being on hold for 20 mins she informed me that there was an issue with the signal coming into my house and was unable to access the modem (or something like that) , so she scheduled a tech to come out. When the tech showed up yesterday all he did was run some speed tests and determined they my router wasn’t sending out signal properly, his solution was use an Ethernet cord or buy a new router. I decided to try the less expensive option first just to have the exact same issues that night, Slow speeds lots of packet loss and a shit connection. I’m gonna get a new router with Black Friday deals but if this doesn’t solve my issues I’ll be at a loss on what to do. Any suggestions or recommendations are greatly appreciated, I just wanna be able to play some black ops 6 with my buddies this weekend without lagging every game…

THE ALIVE INTERNET

This post I hope fillips a mass project to counter the possibility of the 'dead Internet'.

The Dead Internet Theory posits - heck - observes - that Internet searches are no longer replete with anything remotely useful, do not lead to any interesting new content or websites, & increasingly now simply flooded with bot-created content (mainly for advertising, & other possible agendas).

And - it's not that this is a functional death of the Internet - it works better than ever in terms of as an information conduit - but as a search & exploration tool - it might very well be dead.

We might counter that we can still get to any website we like, & vice versa - but if the search engines are cordoned off - then we'll never even know about those websites in the first place.

The Internet should be about information-exchange between human beings - be that for education, or fun.

As such - I'd like this thread to become a repository of all those websites, fora & services which you the masses consider useful & worth telling others about.

Downdetector is down

This morning, I read about outages being reported for Microsoft Office 365. So, I thought I would check the current status on Downdetector.com.

Well, it turns out Downdetector itself is down. I only get an odd "redirecting to" message, but with no information on where it's redirecting to (that part is blank).

Google search links to specific Downdetector pages give the same result.

Ironic...

Internet without cable

Nowadays there are internet provider who use a router to supply internet to private homes by connecting to the nearest cell tower. This is a great option to have without subscribing to cable. Does anybody in this community here use this kind of internet service? and how does it work for you all?

What is the best WiFi choice?

We have internet through our phone provider right now, but we seem to constantly have issues with it, especially when it comes to gaming. We are wanting to explore the options for fast and affordable WiFi. What are some good options?
