Anything is possible! [I hate my ISP]
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2009 9:55 am
I hate my ISP. I stay in Malaysia and I subscribe to a 2Mbps line which cost me approx. USD20(converted) per month. It would be fine if it was actually providing 2Mbps but my internet speed has never even touched the 1Mbps marker. I call them up and they say this "the 2Mbps is based on best effort, so we cannot guarantee you 2Mbps".
Now to my question. How do I bypass my ISP and get onto the internet directly?
Obviously by my question you would have realized that I have very limited knowledge about the internet and its workings.
What I know is that the internet is just a network of many servers worldwide. There is no single country or cooperation that OWNs the internet. So there would be no harm in me accessing it without having to go through an ISP. yes?
However, landlines and satellites ARE owned by companies and countries so accessing them without permission would be wrong. But, since I am already up to my waist in borderline illegal activities, I dont see how the knowledge of more could hurt.
As far as I know, my PC connects to my ISP providers router which them reroutes me to the router of the server on which the webpage I want to view is on, thus allowing me to view the webpage. So now if that is true all I have to do is to find a way to directly connect to the router of the server on which the webpage I want to view is on, allowing me to bypass all bandwith limitations which my ISP has set.
ps. Please discuss. I have searched but I have not found a reliable place to talk about this topic. Nearly everywhere everyone is just saying "if you want free internet just go to a free wifi zone", "it is illegal to connect without an ISP", "build your own satellite"< best answer yet...and so on. I chose to post this here because the community is small and knowledgeable. I would prefer ideas and suggestions. Or if you are certain it is impossible, state your reasons why.
will come back in a months time to see how much this topic has developed.
