How is this even possible in 2024? I realize Rochester isn't exactly a major metropolis, but we're in the middle of town! It's not like they're relying on Hughesnet or something.
Also, it's not that they're cheaping out on us either. The owners live upstairs. This is a duplex.
Ya. Most vacation rentals will have Internet like this. They don't want you pirating or downloading potentially illegal materials.
It's enough to watch Netflix and Google shit and that's about it.
Is that enough to watch Netflix? I didn't bother trying.
I dunno, 3 megabits works out to about 0.375 megabytes per second. So its slow.
That seems like a limiter has been applied. Probably on the router. I dont think there are internet providers out there still offering adsl speeds like this. You would need around 5Mbps to watch HD on netflix.
Might be worth finding the actual router and getting the log in details from the sticker on the bottom/back and logging in to see if you can disable it.
If someone is savvy enough to have done this, surely they would have changed the password as well? Worth a shot tho, I suppose!
I guess if you werent savvy enough to do it you could follow a guide. My dad does alot of tech stuff by following guides but if it ever goes wrong he cant fix it becaise he doesnt know what he did, he just follows the steps.
I have to fix it instead.
I'm tethering to my phone. Thankfully, I have an unlimited data plan. Tethering gives me about 60 mbps, which is still slower than I'm used to but at least I can do things like watch YouTube videos.
Sometimes they'll give you unlimited data but still limit your hotspot, so watch for that.
I do not believe that is the case with our plan, but thanks.
Edit: Come to think of it, I know it isn't because my daughter has had to do her online school video lessons via tethering when the power has gone out.
Hmm. Would that get you in trouble with AirBnB? I guess it's possible they wouldn't notice if you put it back, but it's a risk.
I know one of the ISPs in my area still runs ADSL as their only option for this town, but I never bothered asking what the speeds were.
Alternatively, plug in your own router. Probably a last resort plan, though.
Sometimes it is. Depends on what Netflix is doing. But you're right, I usually just use my own hotspot when traveling.
Yeah, video is heavy, so that's kind of surprising if so. I guess I can kind of stream a video over Tor, which is testing at 2 down right now, although usually only in low resolution.
Compression is amazing.
Your average landlord isn’t going to even be thinking or caring about “piracy”. They only care about their bottom line.
