Comment on [Discussion] What's your "this has bothered me for way too long" movie moment?
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 months agoI know. That’s why I specifically mentioned ADSL, which unlike cable has limitations end users can’t override due to how it’s implementated at the exchange

ADSL is provisioned similarly. You can just re-provision and up the speed beyond your current service level.

Yup but the speed is rate limited on the telco end by literal codes implemented at the exchange. The issue is have is with end users shown blithely ‘flipping a switch’ to increase their ADSL speed on the fly. I literally used to program the AXIS codes for bigpond, you can’t override that shit from the user end

Movie users are simply built different and have the switch patched in all the way from their house to the exchange.
