let’s hope this post will stay!
So I’m still an n00b when it comes to Mikrotik. Hope someone can help me with this problem
Last week my Neighbors told me that I can connect to their fiber across the street. So I thought to go VLAN but then my Friend comes up with a diffrent way. I got everything in and tried to configure on the Mikrotik but now I have run into a roadblock and need help.
So what we did is, I have ADSL as my Internet on port 1 and on port 8 is the Fiber connection.
so I run all my normal internet on my internet and then the Netflix on the Fiber so the firewall, I can add the tv IP and route it to the fiber gateway IP but it is not working. tv is not going onto the fiber
If your neighbor is giving away bandwidth to other neighbors , then this is a theft-of-service.
Why not just purchase for yourself a faster Internet account for yourself instead of piggy-backing bandwidth from somebody else.
Your name and address are probably NOT on the Internet service contract of the account you want to piggy-back bandwidth from.
As an ISP, I instantly terminate any residential Internet customers who are giving away bandwidth which is causing me to loose Internet customers.
If you go to an all-you-can-eat buffet and pay for only one person (you), but you also bring your friend with you both go to the food buffet for all you can also eat - what do you thing management is going to do when they find out what you are doing ?
Well, sometimes the situation can be tricky. For example, for me it is not possible to get fiber, but for the people across the street it is. My street is the border of the area where you can get fiber.
If I would get internet from the people across the street (I don’t, I have my own VDSL connection and it is fast enough for me), I would not be depriving the ISP of any business.
And I could even keep the VDSL subscription, and the traffic from the fiber (at the same ISP) would be subtracted from the traffic I have via VDSL, and nobody would be hurt.
Maybe in his case the situation is the same (he writes about also having ADSL, maybe at the same ISP).
One type of tech call that really irks me .
Getting a call “My Internet does not work” , hmmm I can’t find the customer name in our database - then I finally find out the caller is NOT a customer and the caller is actually using a paying customers account - aka the neighbor’s Internet
