In the US, Comcast generally doesn't get a good rep - but they've done the same: https://corporate.comcast.com/covid-19 Now if we could take a second to talk about all the "From CEO..." emails that are being sent around...
Wait, is Comcast Comcast again? I thought they were Xfinity now (to run away from precisely that bad rap).
If you live in a condo, what about sharing your internet on the guest WIFI network? Does it make sense? Will people misuse it? (It probably violates TOS, I guess.)
Smart message, hopefully it is received at the cell phone companies. I noticed TMobile is going to give everyone unlimited internet for a couple months whether you have that plan or not - but they didn't say if they were going to avoid shutoff's for no pay.
In this time and age I think an internet connection is a human right. There should be free internet access, although limited bandwidth, for those who cannot afford it.

Can you elaborate on that? Do you mean like the RDP marketplaces should slow down so people cant find a computer near the skimmed credit card they bought so that visa transactions go through? Or something more like corporate hacking? Or back to the RDP to install monero mining botnets? I’m just trying to figure out which one you are referring to as “overtaxing”
similar to the virus or with any sort of lotka/voltera dynamics you cant take so much of a targets budget that it cant survive, that means if you subsist off others like animals do [consumers] those others[producers] must have enough "stuff" left to stay afloat or everyone goes down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotka%E2%80%93Volterra_equatio... there is a basis for mutual coexistence, it is a maladaptation for anyo…

In first world countries it is. In Poland since 2009: http://www.prepaid-wireless-internet-access.com/page/Poland+...
> To illustrate, in the Netherlands we are in lockdown, because of the COVID-19 hazard: you are expected to only leave your house if it is absolutely critical, such as to pick up food from the food distribution centers, to get meds, to go work in a hospital, etc. You have food distribution centers? I'm jealous.
Anywhere people might gather is closed and the public are encouraged to practice 'social distancing'. But the army/police are not in the streets making sure people stay at home.

As a kiwi it blows my mind how bad your broadband is over there. My cousin recently moved to some rural Aussie town and will be getting 25 megabit, tops. Here in NZ we're rolling out 4 gigabit connections nationwide over the next 6 months. EDIT: props for getting rid of limits and disconnects though. NZ providers are just saying we'll be able to cope with everyone working from home because we have a fancy network.
Yeah it sucks, and what's worse is that there's no near-future course correction by the policy makers. This is going to come back and bite us in some very uncomfortable places. Kudos for the multi-gigabit fibre, when we can only imagine of a gigabit lottery.
