  • Sounds like one of these “up to” scams by cable ISPs. With cable internet you are sharing a connection and it is often oversubscribed.

    On a 500/500 you should in theory get 500 both ways the same time, but cheap routers or *BSD based ones with singlethread networking often struggle to reach these values in a speed test as the single speed test connection overloads the single cpu core.







  • Also, TIL the Red Cross is technically supposed to be the enforcer of these conventions.

    Enforcing is the wrong term, as it is a humanitarian organisation. But the International Red Cross in partnership with its Palestinian Red Crescent counterpart is very much active in documenting these violations of the Geneva convention and working together with the ICC. Of course with the world being as it is right now the impact will likely not amount to much, but they are at least trying.
