Are there 1G home routers that can do fq_codel in hardware versus the
general purpose CPU on the device? The only devices that I have that will
do a full 1G with it have active cooling fans.

It seems manufacturers need to meet that goal before we ask for 10G CPEs.

It is, because it is hard to be different when all you know is to sell
bandwidth.

The next level of differentiation is being a fibre provider, and selling
large amounts of bandwidth for less, and less, and less.

It's a total lack of creativity in the infrastructure space, where the
only goal is to maintain customers on the books.

One of the mobile operators in South Africa, just last week, launched
new data bundles for customers below a certain age. I mean, how many
ways can you slice the selling of data because you can't be creative in
other ways?
