  • Unfortunately I have also found it to be a huge impediment to making friends with other millennials who aren’t techie. I sort of left a crowd that was always on xmpp and signal and found myself rather ostracized. Things are changing slowly and most of them are now on Signal and with the usernames it’s easier to exchange contact without relying on phone numbers that feel like a bigger commitment. But unfortunately passed explaining why you won’t support Meta, and why alternatives like Signal are good there isn’t much to do.











  • Yes with coax based technology you and all your neighbors are connected in a tree like topology. All your neighbors can indeed technically see your packets. Those packets however are encrypted, if memory serves DOCSIS uses AES.

    Yes obviously you could technically double the speed with two cables. You’d also double the cost of cabling deployment. It’s a lot more cost efficient to make advences in the modulation. For example DOCSIS earlier DOCSIS revisions used 256-QAM, while DOCSIS 3.1 support 4096-QAM.

    Coax physical infrastructure lasts decades, but we’re able to make new advancements with he modulation every few years.
