Is that three broadband providers serving the same address?? You guys are so lucky you don’t even know. In America we generally have a choice of one if you aren’t including Starlink or legacy slow satellite. And perhaps a joke of a 1-6Mbps DSL option in some parts.

Oh wow, don't look at Italy so! At my current address I have coverage from at least 7 different providers (even though they're all based on only 3 different infrastructures/lines).

Three usable lines to your home??? I hope you're happy, you've made at least one American cry today.

Running your own recursive resolver has certain advantages…

And I was so close! I just disabled forwarding to my ISP DNS on my home DNS, now there is no block.

UPDATE: I updated my DNS server config (I run my own already) to use root DNS rather than forward to my ISP, problem solved.

> Each pixel represents 2,500 ISBNs. If we have a file for an ISBN, we make that pixel more green. What do you mean by "more green"? I don't see any shaded green. And I presume the black pixels are unregistered ISBNs?

I'd suggest you try a color blindness test. The green is very obvious, especially about 40% of the way down the whole image.

No, I see the green, but I don't see any shaded green. Though this has probably to do that ISBNs are distributed in blocks and every pixel is either red or green?

Yes. One of those three lines is based on the old copper phone lines; the other two are optical fiber (FTTH).

I currently have a 1 Gbps down / 300 Mbps up unlimited connection, and I pay only 16 euros (~16 USD) per month.

I wonder why the US is so bad on home internet connections, but maybe it's because of the scale of your country?

It's blocked at least in the Netherlands. Weirdly it mentions it being part of the sanctions against Russia, while from a cursory search I only found a judge ordering the site to be blocked because of copyright issues (thanks Brein). They probably just show the wrong error page?

Must be ISP specific, I'm also in NL and can access it fine.

I'm on Ziggo
