Sandvine uses pattern recognition primarily. VPN doesn’t matter. It still gets categorized correctly.

I believe the low seed counts are due to the absolute trash out there. Actual good shows and movies are still strong. Niche items have always been hard to find. But we’re saturated with garbage entertainment these days. No one really cares to seed what they watch once and then never think about again.
First, sandvine calls it an app for legacy reasons, but 100% that is the bit torrent protocol. I have insider knowledge that this is the case. So don’t get hung up on that. But you’re right to doubt them. They are a shell of what they once were. Their fixed deployments are quite small now and do not represent fiber at all, which just hit over 50% in availability in dense US areas. Sandvine is still in Comcast at 100% coverage and in Cox, but they’re tiny. Sandvine is a bit sparse in mobile, but still there solidly. I believe that bit torrent is rare in mobile. Like no shit. I believe them that it’s down in fixed copper (dsl and cable). But they’re missing 100% of fiber. Sandvine does pattern recognition primarily. It used to be great. I suspect it’s still pretty good. They claim better than 90% accuracy. I’m sure the data they have is correct. But what they get from their customers is definitely questionable at times. They’ve made some huge mistakes in the past, grabbing data for too short a period of time or not across a broad enough customer base. I’m sure that’s still the case. What we need is someone like Kentik, Deepfield, and anyone else doing flow correlation to release a report. But they won’t because no company gives away that kind of data anymore. So we’re stuck guessing.
You’re the product, not a customer.
CCP lies about everything constantly, runs all businesses, and controls the media. This is extremely well documented.
Yeah I have insider info. The managers are the same. Most are normal humans that would rather focus on selling the service to someone that wants it. Charter is a complete mess right now. People are fed up with the terrible upper management.
The employee was gaming the system. If you’re canceling, they’re required to hound you. If you’re moving, it’s just a few clicks with no rebuttal from the system. The employee just didn’t want to hound you because they’re as tired of charter’s crap as you.
What about sandwiches made with rolls and bagels?
Also, I see the aussie point, but, in the US, burger is short for hamburger, which refers to the meat itself. Do you only say ground beef too? Or is ground beef also called hamburger?
And also… Is a burger not considered a type of sandwich?
I hadn’t heard of this dialect difference. Fun stuff!
Pedestal mounts suck. Too wobbly.
Make it worse by having it randomly return occasionally.
I’m sorry you got so mad at a simple little joke.
Have you seen our pot holes?
Yep. In my area, almost all the weekend warriors I see have these very fancy expensive bikes and the dudes have HUGE ass bellies like they’re pregnant with a baby cyclist.
Yes. Like is harder but definitely better. It sounds like you’re in a positive feedback loop. Only you can change your life. I suggest you focus on helping others somehow to break the loop. Feed the homeless. Volunteer for habitat for humanity. Anything. There are many volunteer boards on the internet. Your life will not get better until you take action to accomplish some goal for someone else’s benefit and then do another after and so on.

The ignorance is astounding but to be expected. 12 years of mandatory schooling and not one class on personal finance. These are not difficult concepts. They’re just never conveyed.
The specific rule you point out is stupid but easy to hack. Your score didn’t go down because they lost the interest you’d have paid. When you pay off a secured debt, the loaned amount is deducted from your total credit potential, which increases your utilized credit percentage. The hack is to open a line of credit against the secured asset before it’s paid off or another line of unsecured credit. Your credit utilization will drop, thus increasing your score.
My score is over 800 and has been for over a decade. I have like 12 credit cards but only use 2 and pay them off every month… Costco for the store and gas and a high cash back card for everything else. The others I keep open with 1 small purchase each year. Every store wants you to have one, so they’re easy to get. I have added and paid off multiple small to medium (10-60k) secured loans over the years and my score only fluctuates a little for a few weeks then goes back because my total credit with the dozen credit cards is so large.
What is a woman?
Clearly not that dude!
I’m not into shoes and boots, but that guy has thuroughly described why I hate some shoes, why I like some, and which models to avoid or seek. He’s a shoe scientist! Everyone that seeks function and quality should watch some of his videos.
Funny they discontinued the Bronco after the associated bad press only to call it’s replacement the Escape!
