  • As a long time Charter/Spectrum customer (yay local monopolies) who’s toyed with my network a bit, I have heard about some of their network shenanigans, but they don’t seem to have hit my area. Guess I’m surprised it’d be defeated by something a simple as dns servers, and the MITM of it all if they’re redirecting traffic is terrifying, what with https and all.

    I don’t think I can manage my IP settings on the phone as one would on Windows.

    Certainly you can change your dns server on nearly any phone.



  • Charter customers experienced horrible download speeds using Charter’s DNS servers.

    How did that work? Are you saying that charters dns servers were sending traffic to completely different places?

    Tried to google for this but found nothing so hard to understand the problem.

    Why not just switch dns servers instead of getting a vpn?

    Tell me you’re a dickhead without telling me you’re a dickhead.

    Yeah fair. Got me there.

    EDIT: other guy mentioned throttling, which is interesting. But changing dns servers doesn’t fix that.
