Someone has to be the first and I don't mind buying from a new account. The return process is uaully pretty good so I don't mind the "risk".

To get a rough idea in freedom units (imperial time), you just need to double it and add 16.

I've gotten 3 fucking tickets for doing ~10 over. So, I've decided that when I drive into Ottawa, I'm doing the speed limit. That's it. I don't care that people do 10% over and I'm holding up traffic.

There's a lot more cops watching the highway too. Doing 120 in a 100? You're good. 68 in a 60? Photo ticket.

When I need a new car it'll be well researched and proven to be possible, or it will be a old 1990's car and I'll upgrade parts. I don't mind soldering, researching chips, removing any antennas, etc.

In any case, It's public knowledge so hopefully we get laws or something first to stop this shit.

Then again. My rate might go up because my car doesn't submit reports

I've seen articles of how the car maker will sell this to insurance and if you do anything wrong your rate will go up.

If I ever buy a new car you can bet I'll be doing research on how to rip that shit out. Won't even drive it home from the dealer without getting in there first.

While I agree, where should it stop?

Just by getting into new cars you agree to their TOS. Buying a new phone, using internet services/websites, etc. You almost can't breath without agreeing to one TOS or another. We need this shit to stop and local laws are the only way I see out of it.

There is a 55 unit apartment building and a 22 unit apartment building going up within 3KM of me. In our neighbourhood there's 5 houses for sale, one of which has sold in the last 4 months.

While I agree things are shitty, at least in my community apartments are being built. Price/cost is another story and I'd never live in a new build because its not rent controlled.

Good luck!

If you want to stay with whatever provider you have you can try openVPN over TCP or a SOCKS proxy over SSH (both TCP traffic). Anything TCP might be faster than WG

Yeah, that sounds about right to me. I'd look for a different provider if you're looking for speed. Like I said above, OVH was unusable to me so I went to hetzner.

Lookup "lowendbox" if you want something cheap. I used some Christmas or new year deal at racknerd that was alright.

You could also try a VPS from hetzner and see if its any better. Here's my speed test just now using WG on my cell, exit through Hetzner.

Is your test TCP or UDP? My guess is that's TCP traffic.

Your VPS provider can rate limit as specific as a single UDP port. Try a different WG UDP port or wrap your WG traffic in TCP with other software and try again.

My WG traffic looked like a DOS attack to OVH and I got blackholed for 5min, then 15, then 30.

My guess is your provider is rate limiting your UDP traffic.

 

Ontario Provincial Police in Ottawa caught a novice driver reaching speeds of 160 km/h on Highway 417 on Sunday morning.

An OPP spokesperson said officers stopped the G2 driver shortly before 9:30 a.m. near the Kanata Avenue exit.

The speed limit in the area is 100 km/h.

"This speed is never okay, but even more dangerous when you're an inexperienced driver," OPP said on social media site X.

The driver was charged with stunt driving and received an automatic 30-day driver's licence suspension and a 14-day vehicle impound.

If convicted, they will face a minimum $2,000 fine, six demerit points and a one year driving suspension.
