    Should ISPs be held responsible for the content that passes through their network?

    i think the question is "how" can ISP's do this? DPI is not an option (i don't believe) at an ISP scale, don't know if its published but the bigger ISP's must be pushing ~100gbps(?), not aware of a machine that will do that. It's also not like theres a DB of all child porn websites, so (bar...

    We uses the routers extensively for work. Bought about 40 from takealot... because that deal... Something is definitely off with them however, they have some weird config, all routers have to be netinstalled before hand. Have some random password and non-standard IP/DHCP Server config.

    Hardware Bargains - Open Thine Wallet

    All Mikrotik switches are managed. All of them. Just beware that most of their switches are passive Poe, meaning they most likely will not power a camera.

    SA ISPs must now have black owners

    Fibre installation madness - am I done?

    No. You wouldn't need to run it in bridge mode. If you ISP provide PPPOE details, just set your router to "router" mode and enter the PPPOE details. If its DHCP, set it to router and enable the dhcp client

    Rocketnet - feedback?

    Reselling internet as WISP

    If you just bought some connection from an ISP and have not communicated this when them, I am sure if they find out they will not be happy. Otherwise, not really. At some point you will need to get your own ASN & Public IP block, without that and without a large block given to you by your...
