foss countries

Pez•7/8/24, 8:18 AM

call that a selamat fucky wucky

Onihikage•7/8/24, 8:18 AM

It wasn't even about torrents, it's because those users weren't using data in a way that allowed the ISP to double-dip.

Pez•7/8/24, 8:19 AM

Pez•7/8/24, 8:19 AM

they don't care about torrenting they care about bandwidth exiting the country

Pez•7/8/24, 8:19 AM

or entering depending on how you look at it

Onihikage•7/8/24, 8:19 AM

most of the world only charges for an excess of data passing in either direction, Korean ISPs charge for all data that enters or leaves their network

Pez•7/8/24, 8:20 AM

they're literally crooked as hell

Pez•7/8/24, 8:20 AM

it's really sad because korea would by all rights be technologically superior

Pez•7/8/24, 8:20 AM

twenty years ago

Muko TabiOP•7/8/24, 8:20 AM

oh we actually have domestic pricing and international pricing here for internet

Onihikage•7/8/24, 8:20 AM

so anyone torrenting something that originated within the same ISP's network would be using tons of bandwidth that they were only getting one revenue stream from

Pez•7/8/24, 8:20 AM

now they're not defending anything unique

Muko TabiOP•7/8/24, 8:20 AM

usually domestic speed would be x5-10 the international one

Onihikage•7/8/24, 8:20 AM

or two I guess, one from the seeder and one from the downloader

Pez•7/8/24, 8:20 AM

places like vietnam/indonesia etc. have internet on-par with SK now

Pez•7/8/24, 8:21 AM

and SK still thinks they can rest on their laurels and charge everyone else a business fee

Pez•7/8/24, 8:21 AM

so what happens is everyone running a service outside of SK throttles SK users

Pez•7/8/24, 8:21 AM

and SK users think everyone else has shit internet when it's not the case at all

Pez•7/8/24, 8:21 AM

they just can't get a good route outside the country

MMuko Tabi usually domestic speed would be x5-10 the international one

asen23•7/8/24, 8:22 AM

thats really weird, how often are you even visiting local sites

MMuko Tabi usually domestic speed would be x5-10 the international one

Pez•7/8/24, 8:22 AM

is this for roaming?

Aasen23 thats really weird, how often are you even visiting local sites

Muko TabiOP•7/8/24, 8:22 AM

rarely

Pez•7/8/24, 8:22 AM

or do you mean regular bandwidth

Muko TabiOP•7/8/24, 8:23 AM

asen23•7/8/24, 8:23 AM

most of the cdn are in singapore too

Muko TabiOP•7/8/24, 8:23 AM

both for internet and mobile data

Pez•7/8/24, 8:23 AM

i can kinda see why indonesia would do it for regular bandwidth atm

Pez•7/8/24, 8:23 AM

that won't last

PPez i can kinda see why indonesia would do it for regular bandwidth atm

asen23•7/8/24, 8:23 AM

wait wdym

Pez•7/8/24, 8:23 AM

mobile data roaming is always expensive because they have to rent access to other provider's networks

Aasen23 wait wdym

Pez•7/8/24, 8:24 AM

they can use the same justification south korea does except they actually are still building the infrastructure for this stuff and not just lying through their teeth about it

asen23•7/8/24, 8:24 AM

is that different in other country? roaming usually are expensive cause its not their own equipment right

Pez•7/8/24, 8:24 AM

i mean for regular bandwidth there

Pez•7/8/24, 8:24 AM

roaming is just expensive, yeah

Pez•7/8/24, 8:25 AM

although some networks like vodafone actually try their best to support roaming customers

Muko TabiOP•7/8/24, 8:25 AM

we have 4 major ISPs here so one rarely stop and doing monopoly stuff, since 4 of them busy competing with each other

Muko TabiOP•7/8/24, 8:25 AM

especially in a small country

Pez•7/8/24, 8:25 AM

vodafone barely gets reception on land where i am but they spent billions of dollars making sure you can place a phone call at sea

MMuko Tabi we have 4 major ISPs here so one rarely stop and doing monopoly stuff, since 4 o...

asen23•7/8/24, 8:26 AM

yeah for good service need some healthy competition

asen23•7/8/24, 8:26 AM

too bad its mostly monopoly or duopoly here

Pez•7/8/24, 8:26 AM

yeah and indonesia isn't like the other countries that had a 20 year head-start on this stuff

Pez•7/8/24, 8:27 AM

south korea basically has no excuse

Pez•7/8/24, 8:27 AM

their whole country is served by a monopoly

asen23•7/8/24, 8:27 AM

samsung have some strong influence in goverment
