Well, it seems like I’ve signed a year lease to a big building in which the only Internet connection available is from a central building server that blocks all torrents from getting through.

Well, I can live without torrents for a year without dying, so that’s all right.
But I’ve got a question:
What kind of things can a person do before sinking into a lease to ensure that they’re not blocked off impenetrably like I am at present…?
Questions to ask, things to make sure of, etc…
If your internet came with your lease and its just a Cat 5 cable plugged into the wall, then its run through a central server that blocks all p2p traffic (some even disallow p2p because it “slows” everyone else down) Since I had that I just got my own hinet account and they gave me a modem and no more trouble with p2p or bt or whatever… I wish I could get those fiber things… I wonder should I move to xingdiang just for that?
rahimiiii’s right
i cant imagine any apartment block providing open access to the net. if they did unscrupulous people like me would hog bandwidth all day/night.
i guess the only solution is to get your own line installed…unlees of course you are 1337
Sure you can get fibre… but are you willing to pay NT$30,000 a month for access??

That can’t be right?
