The minute social upheaval reached an uncomfortable plateau, the ISPs did exactly what they've been engineered to do. Cut the feed.
Your router choice has an impact. If you don't diversify: you're next.
Seems like a Starlink Mini would be helpful in the times a head if power goes out for any reason.
Don't worry, there are so many internet devices and they can't shut it all down, they can try, but that would not end well for them. Also, might be good to de-internet your life if you can as much as possible like having everything within your place, a server with your own A.I. and etc....movies on DVD, and so on, people are starting to realize that they want us to 'own nothing and be happy' renting everything from software to movies and next it will be the themometer on you heater or the camera/phone that you want to watch movies on but you'll only be renting it, and now people are starting to see how having the hardware, having the physical media is the only way forward because they are trying to make ownership of anything obselete.
This is a misrenpresentation of what is happening in the Middle-East right now.
Speaking as someone who has been there in twice in the last few months.
Israel, Lebanon, Jordon, Turkey and Iraq all have operational Internet.
Yes, the Internet in Iran may have been turned off - it's also an Islamic Country.
The people of Iran have bigger problems, like the Water being turned off, and the Government created Emergency of the closure of the Water Supply and the consequence of having to evacuate Tehran.
Please be a bit more balanced instead of posting 'Fear Porn'.
In Africa, the Internet has been turned off regularly by Governments over the last decade. Especially in areas where there are French speakers, I have been told.
Also, IRAN HAS BEEN FIRING MISSILES AT OTHER COUNTRIES !!!!
I personally have been in the course of an Iranian Missile attack.
There are deep problems in Iran. The loss of Internet is not high up on the list.
I am a personal Survivor of an Iranian Missile attack. I have spoken to other that survived. Please don't assume that the only choice is to lose against this Force of Evil. It's your choice.
@Nancy:
"there are so many internet devices and they can't shut it all down"
That's why they will shut down your ISP. Your device doesn't matter if you are dependent on an ISP.
@David Lyon:
"This is a misrenpresentation of what is happening in the Middle-East right now."
I don't see the misrepresentation. Tazz posted that the internet in Iran has been turned off, and you even confirm that the internet in Iran has been turned off.
"I personally have been in the course of an Iranian Missile attack. "
How do you know it's Iran and not a false flag in order to pull Iran into the war they want? How did you verify that Iran is firing missiles at other countries? To be clear: I don't say they don't do that. But it's important to verify, because if it's a false flag operation, Iran wouldn't be the aggressor.
I;m just a Tourist that goes to many countries. Now I am Japan.
But see this video made from that time:
> How do you know it's Iran and not a false flag in order to pull Iran into the war they want?
It was widely reported.
Furthermore, when it is said "Iran cut the internet. You're next." - that can also mean "You are next for Irans missile attacks".
Iran doesn't only do one type of attack - they do many types.
As I said, I spoke to someone who's Building had been totally demolished in the attacks.
There are plenty of videos on youtube about Irans Military operations in the Middle East.
Where I actually went and wanted to go was hit or underneath the Irananian Missile trajectory.
It's not for me to explain them all.
Yes, they can turn off ISP but they will always find a way to get back on. Pretty sure they know how to hack back into the internet. Most of all the fighting in the middle east is over stargates. There is a important stargate in Iran, which they want to get control over.
