As a little background to the question, I’m moving from where I live because cost of living is way too high. I have found a few apartments that are within my budget but they all have “complementary WiFi”. Is there anything I should be aware of?
From an ISP side:
We came and took over a building after the previous org was kicked out for subpar service and was only awarded the contract because the CEO was on the board.
3 building 4 floors each, 2 switches per floor. Every switch was in default config mode with the same IP so no troubleshooting could take place.
Claimed a 50Mb connection to each apartment but only purchased a 100Mb wholesale service to service the entire building. 96 apartments sharing a single 100Mb service…96 apartments sharing a single 100Mb service…
RIP. That’s cruelty.
Oh wow. Did an electric tion select and connect the hardware? 😅
I would at least use secure dns and https everything.
It really depends from building to building.
If the building has a ton of bandwidth, good QoS rules and not too many people on the network all at once, the only downside is that you won’t have any control over the network and cant make any changes.
If the building has a shitty connection, no QoS, or too many people, then you are likely to get bad service.
If iOS says that too many networks are using the same frequency it might actually mean an incorrect password
