It would go along way if they implemented client isolation and Mac forced forwarding. Half these slowdowns are because of broadcast/multicast storms potentially saturating FNO client queues.
You guys are all looking at spacex like they special. They need to comply with the ECA, like every other ISP,network owner in SA has to do.
The 30% BEE sucks, not only for spacex but for many smaller potential broadband projects/startups - ICASA needs to sort that out ASAP and make the...
Home routers in SA are the biggest culprit in this sort of attack. A vast percentage of people plug it in and forget about it.
Compromised routers just sit there but the clients internet is working so all is good in the clients mind.
Never mind that the router is now doing DNS redirects...
Slightly off topic. You should investigate cloudflare tunnels. Make everything outbound only-more secure and generally a better way to expose internal stuff to the net.
Ye most ONT's can function as either L2 bridge or router. ONT's I have used usually have a webpage exposed on the LAN side for basic info/config, handy for checking optical signals for example.
The ECA is clear unfortunately. , They either have to setup a local company who has ecs and ecns licences (30% bee) or the ECA needs to be amended.
If ICASA allows Starlink they gonna get dragged to court by the incumbents under the current regulations.
You must remember that Startlink has not even applied for a license - SA is not saying they can't operate here :unsure: never have.
They just saying they need to follow the same rules as all the other ISP's/FNO's currently operating.
I had to attend to one of these not too long ago...they get through the smallest gaps. happens more often then you think. More so on the last mile leg to the client.
Generally stems from GPON being 2.4gbps down and 1.25gbps up per PON port, which then gets split 1:16 or 1:32 - you relying on "statistical multiplexing" in order to not saturate the port as its essentially oversubscribed.
Better safe than sorry I guess.
