It also feels like Stasi era nonsense. If someone borrows my phone, must I record the call?
Yes obviously, how do you prove it was not you who made the call?

What? I pay 15€ per month and have 5GB. And when I exceed that I can pay 3€ again to have full speed. ALDI Talk/MedionMobile
O2. 28€ / 5 GB + 10€ "Datensnack" (exceed). The 500 MB thing is a commercial I saw a few days ago "LTE Einsteigertariif" with a flat rate telephone. Actually not that bad, but 500MB LTE... I have a feeling I'll switch soon. I just took O2 because I had a good experience with their prepaid rates, and having checked T-Mobile and Vodafone I didn't find it better.

#103Can we shut down GEMA while we're at that?
The reality is that GEMA and Google are both acting like children over the matter that has been going on since 2009. Both are to blame but the only thing users see is that it is all GEMA's fault.
The issue needs to be blamed on both.

#104Can we shut down GEMA while we're at that?
Why? They are trying their best to collect a fair fee for artists. YouTube are the ones that have decided that those rules shouldn't apply to them and rather than accept those laws they use their own site as propaganda to blame GEMA. What you get presented on YouTube isn't telling the whole truth by any means. It is really annoying as a YouTube user in Germany to have so many music videos blocked, but that is what Go…

Yeah, thanks. I know the difference in theory, but reliably mess it up. If more people were to call me on it like you did, it would probably be fixed by now. My American wife never tells me these things and just confirms it when someone else is so nice to point is out. :(
> I live in the US since 8 years and still misunderstood it. in particular it's hard to tell whether you mean 'since I were eight years old' vs 'for a span of eight years' also, a native speaker would probably use tense such as "I have lived", so casually, "I've lived in the US for 8 years and still misunderstood it." and noone ever uses whom, but you probably used it correctly ps you typoed 'possibly be' and 'it'

Why don't you want a Fritz!Box? If the internet comments are to be believed, they are the best routers in Germany. [0] [0] Note: I'm a USian who is rather happy with his EdgeRouter Lite + UAP-AC-LR.

I think the point is to clearly shift the moral hazard away from the provider to the user. The user may not uphold the agreement, but then they are clearly the morally wrong party.
Isn't there some meta rule about the first world countries law systems (us excluded) that the only crimes you are responsible for are the ones you personally commited?

#109> providers won’t be held liable as long as they secure the network properly and get users to agree not to act illegally Of course they had to include that paragraph, forcing everyone to tick some stupid check-box. As if the cookie agreements weren't enough already.

- change the default host name suffix - assign static host names for internal use - see which device uses how much bandwidth (only the total - yeah great, now I have to hunt for which machine/mobile is uploading all those photos to dropbox) - block machines from the network, and/or throttle bandwidth. It looks like you can do it, but the implementation is useless - yes you can prioritize smtp over http, hurrah! Everything bandwidth-hungry in 2015 goes over http, and then it's all-or-nothing on fritzbox.
