@TheBrothersWISP I've been in situations where the sales team clearly over sold the product, and the technical support team went out of their way to help find a way to use the product.

Generally, the tech team gets punished for this. :-(

@TracketPacer People that haven't run into competent females haven't done enough work in this industry.

@TheBrothersWISP Customer had a single PVC, provider had one per customer.

Today -- you would do it with VLANs just as easily

[John Osmon @johnosmon]

@TheBrothersWISP A lot of the original DSL providers were Open Access. You bought and aggregation port from them and they directed PVCs to you over that agg circuit. Some forced the ISP to pay for the circuit. Others had customer pay, and then request a PVC.

@TheBrothersWISP If you use the public ROW, you can't be an ISP. You can only sell L1/L2 connects between endpoints.

@Frame_Changer Can I get one from my car too?

[John Osmon @johnosmon]

@mhammett I own one. It's IoT, so your data goes to someone else and they are kind enough to let you interact.

If you can live with that, it is good way to track your electricity usage.

@TracketPacer Early in my career I learned most things from women around me. It took me a long time to realize how bad it was for many of them. (Thanks Kata, Gina, Kathleen, and Carol!)

@showipintbri @stubarea51 Pick a number. Move up from there sequentially. Record them and their use in a spreadsheet or database.

@DrPeering @hunternewby I spent some time trying to educate local officials about the utility of an IX and what we had built locally. Within a few weeks, they briefed other locals about their initiative with Connected Nation. Color me disappointed.

@smfox @TracketPacer "If you don't like creeps block 'em"

How about "don't be a creep?"
