Are there 1G home routers that can do fq_codel in hardware versus the general purpose CPU on the device? The only devices that I have that will do a full 1G with it have active cooling fans. It seems manufacturers need to meet that goal before we ask for 10G CPEs. ~Jared On Sat, Dec 26, 2020 at 3:39 PM Mike Hammett <nanog@ics-il.net> wrote:

Ya know, peered well with whatever other networks may exist. :-)

It is, because it is hard to be different when all you know is to sell bandwidth.
The next level of differentiation is being a fibre provider, and selling large amounts of bandwidth for less, and less, and less.
It's a total lack of creativity in the infrastructure space, where the only goal is to maintain customers on the books.
One of the mobile operators in South Africa, just last week, launched new data bundles for customers below a certain age. I mean, how many ways can you slice the selling of data because you can't be creative in other ways?
