#Verizon is now using "FIOS" to describe their spotty 5G wireless #broadband service, which is nothing like the traditional fixed wired cable broadband service offered under the name #FIOS for a decade. Buyer beware. https://kushnickbruce.medium.com/verizons-fios-home-internet-is-now-a-deceptive-fixed-wireless-bait-and-switch-f481e4a1e95c
Really diggin' #IPv6.
Today, I was able to get #pfSense to split the /56 IPv6 network my ISP delegated to me into two /64s on two different interfaces.
I'm still learning IPv6 -- but the size of the address space JUST BLOWS ME AWAY.
That #FiOS /56 has given me 256 /64-sized subnets each allowing for 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 hosts.
Wow...just WOW!
Tip: I use "word addresses" like ::fade.c0de:beef:0000 in DHCP6 to differentiate hosts in each /64.
Until recently, calling somebody a "loyal Cablevision/Optimum customer" was like calling a prisoner with a 30-year sentence a "loyal inmate"

Others on #fiberoptic ISPs (I'm on #Fios): I feel like I should have lower latency than I did on cable? But I'm still on the mid 30ms range according to fast.com... #networking
#verizon #fios support thinks it can wait me out. I sit for hours in front of multiple computers daily. I am here all day, I am not going anywhere.
Problem: I was apparently getting a $10 discount for paperless billing. Last bill that discount was removed and my bill is $10 higher.
I am petty enough to go back to paper bills if they don't remove the charge.
@hcmarks …but my wife’s MacBook Air steadfastly refused to load a handful of specific sites in Chrome and Edge, duolingo most notably (but did load in Safari??).
Chrome console showed that CDN assets from cloudflare were timing out, and a ping to www.cloudflare.net was not resolving. (2/3)

@hcmarks no, Orbi. Yesterday I (stupidly) tried to add Verizon’s router into my (perfectly stable) setup, and ended up having to factory reset the Orbi to get back to a workable state.
After some finagling (most of my gear was expecting a 10.0.0.x subnet rather than the default 192.168.1.x, and also the Orbi wanted to be on LTE rather than Ethernet) almost everything was functional… (1/2)

Hey folks! I'm about to go from cable tv/internet to #FIOS #FibreOptic . I have a mix of hardwired and wifi devices, and it's pretty tricky to run new cables. Anyone have experience with #MoCA? Any good brands for adaptors? Any to avoid? Things to look out for?
