Re: New minimum speed for US broadband connections
I'd love to see 100/100, but I don't see it happening anytime soon ... especially for $50. I pay $150/month for 300/8 at home and that's the best upload I can get where I live ... in a major city.

Re: Nashville
During their press conference, the Nashville Metro PD put the RV at 166 2nd Ave N, which is across the street from the 185 2nd Ave N location. It's halfway up the block from 2nd & Commerce.

Re: IPv4 Mismanagement
A service I disconnected more than 2 years ago still has a /24 of their space SWIPED to me. Their NOC closed the ticket I opened to remove. Unknown if it's actually in use for another customer. I also had a conversation last week with another ISP (we were renegotiating our contract) about this. The order form they sent me had multiple /28's we had "given back" years ago still listed. Turns out they're still being routed to us as well. I would bet it happens all over the place. -Matt On Fri, Oct 2, 2020 at 2:00 PM Matt Hoppes < mattli...@rivervalleyinternet.net> wrote: > I'm sitting here in the office on a Friday performing some IP > maintenance and I see that one of our upstreams is still filtering an IP > range we haven't used in years.

Re: 44/8
In addition to my day job I also run IT for a 501(c)(3) ham "club" that does amateur radio based public service and emergency communications. Our annual cash donations are about $100. We could never afford an IPv6 allocation or an AS number. I wish we could because I'd love to use some of the AMPRNET space for some of our operations. Our ISP doesn't support IPv6 yet, so I won't even get into that discussion. While we don't have cash, we frequently get donations in the form of [used] equipment. Our entire network backbone is Cisco. Our radio systems are almost exclusively Motorola public safety grade hardware. Our Internet connection is paid for by a served agency. People are happy to donate their time, services, and hardware to us; just not cash. Saying that not having cash on hand means you don't have the resources to do packet radio is not necessarily true. -Matt, NM1B On Tue, Jul 23, 2019 at 12:44 PM Naslund, Steve wrote: > So, if ARIN allocates a v6 assignment to ARDC how do you plan to use it > without a router or BGP.
