is this some kind of toll fraud scheme I'm unaware of my phone rings, so I answer it. immediately I hear ringback which is strange. eventually someone answers. we both maintain the other party placed the call so obviously someone called both of us and then cross the lines weird my first guess is it's like a prank but i dunno if kids these days would be into phone pranks much less know wtf "toll fraud" is. Or dialtone. *sigh* I don't see how it could be tollfraud, your end didn't place the second call. At least, not in conventional telephony. Now if it were a cellphone with a fake "your phone is ringing" app that you "answered" and it then placed a toll call, that could work. But you'd have bigger problems then. mercutio: anything I can do to increase my upload bandwidth to ARP? did you like bbr congestion? s/like/try/ did you try bbr congestion? https://gist.github.com/mnathani/b3ada5b11361ab4633aadc6252b6bafc sending from a windows ftp client server is linux I guess but I would have to compile kernel etc oh it's from windows what amount of throughput are you expecting? umm there is a tweak thingy for windows i'll try and find it I have 100 mbit upload, so even 40 - 50 would be nice I was maxing out at about 2.5 mbits /sec Set-NetTCPSetting -SettingName InternetCustom -CongestionProvider CTCP try that from powershell prob as administrator that's strange that it is so low holy cow mercutio is the man 8.25 MB/sec nice bloody windows have a link where that came from? http://www.speedguide.net/articles/windows-8-10-2012-server-tcpip-tweaks-5077 thanks you're welcome I was at the auto show the other day: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNyndUjUMBxrNOZ7XDiK9OxhaCKv_AossenMlLXXnyTR62I5ykRO2H5Q3xprPoo5Q?key=U0prWkpJbjZ0N2dpLXpQUHVIejI5dVgtOE9JQUFB holy crap, so you squeezed a whole 6 Mbps more by just changing congestion control? 60 megabit i suspect he means MB not Mb omg That's what she said!! hahaha I should have tested it right before you can set it back to ensure it was 2.5 mbit to 80 mbit or so jesus christ "yet there is always some room for improvement" LOL When I asked "20:06:55 nathani | mercutio: anything I can do to increase my upload bandwidth to ARP?" << I thought I would get a response like: Call your ISP and complain to them :-) Why didn't I get the full 100 mbit though :) install linux? Arch or Ubuntu? same diff for tcp speed well actually arch has bbr cos they have recent kernels :) new ubuntu is coming out in a couple of months mercutio, yeah a prank is possible but I wonder if kids these days even know how to do three-way calling ... except it's easy on a cell phone now that I think about it i think most peopel struggle to do 3 way calling people don't want to do it frequently enough to know how to do it but yeah it's kin dof easy on cellphone with a landline you've got to flash the hook.... i've seen a few people doing dial in conferences now and god forbid you have call waiting and three way calling i think people find that easier to understand That's what she said!!
