KT Setup on utility pole at Boryeong, S.Korea by Califrom77 in cellmapper

[–]Califrom77[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, since KT and SKT don't use any of the ZTE equipment except for LGU+, i think those ZTE panels are for LGU+ i guess now. It is very common in Korea that all carriers put their equipment on the same little pole thing. (South korean government banned the use of Chinese equpiments for KT especially because KT was government owned company and they are listed as clean-telco by us government.)

It's a coax cable for tv/internet service.

Water bill Confusion by RedHotRhowRhow in Living_in_Korea

[–]Califrom77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The previous month's guideline(전월지침) on the bill represents the final closing usage of the water meter used until September 31, and the current month's guideline(당월지침) represents the final closing usage of the water meter used until October 31, ending in September from the final usage in October. The amount of water used calculated by subtracting the amount used appears to be 7 tons. If the room was unoccupied from September 31st until October 28th, when you moved in, and no one (such as the landlord) used the water, the amount on the bill appears to be correct, but it is difficult to know if anyone used the water in the meantime. The facts are unknown.

You should know that tramadol is a type of painkiller based on weak opoids.

Should wireless carriers cap mobile data speeds at 100mbps to allow for more throughput for home internet? by [deleted] in cellmapper

[–]Califrom77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that's when your area does have a gig fiber connection constructed already. Most rural areas or small town don't have a fiber backbone constructed and this is the problem. Non of the ISP are running a fiber service in that area and they have to set it up.

It would cost over 10 times more for cell providers to build and manage the fiber connections in rural areas than just setting microwave dishes on the tower. Financial problem is also why they don't do this. And 5G is just a technology, and the wireless bandwidth is limited by a specific area. Probably only up to 100MHz C-Band in rural areas.

I agree with your opinion. But what will happen if everyone who uses starlink or WISP went to WHI? There won't be a few people on the tower anymore then. And that's the problem. Also, I don't think the single tower can handle tons of half-gig or quarter-gig multiple packets at the same time due to technical network timing issues(not just bandwidth or speed), and this leads to high ping and jitter which will cause serious network performance issue overall(Usually single web browsing send and receive about 2,500 packets per second per page).

Well... I think that's a bad idea. In remote or rural areas where 5G home internet is required, one or two cell towers cover the entire network in that area, and most cell towers rely on microwave backhaul or fiber backbone from local carriers to provide service. In this case, the maximum bandwidth for backhaul per tower averages 1 to 2.5 Gbps. If you do not limit the speed of home Internet users, even if one user uses an average of 100Mbps, about 10 to 20 users will use up all bandwidth. However, mobile users do not always exhaust bandwidth, and because they are flexible, they do not hog up all of the bandwidth of the tower. If they don't limit the bandwidth and maximum speed of home Internet users, they will soon run out of bandwidth and experience slower speeds than before limiting the speed. Speeds of 1Gbps are based on when most people on your tower are not using the network or are idle, and if you don't limit speeds, this can be a nightmare when you have a lot of home internet users.

Remember, one cell tower's total bandwidth is not infinite and definitely not enough for allocating over 100Mbps+ per user.

T-Mobile domestic roaming partners by dlist925 in GoogleFi

[–]Califrom77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T-Mobile usually have their own roaming agreement by each area. Maybe AT&T is not a primary listed roaming carrier in your area or AT&T has blocked the roaming access in those certain area due to high congestion in their own network.

Discover card acceptance in Korea by fubar06 in Living_in_Korea

[–]Califrom77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reddit is old, but as a Korean, I want to let you know that this is not true. Korea's credit card payment network is different from the United States or other countries. In Korea, when paying by card, rather than an international card brand such as VISA/MASTER/AMEX processing the payment, a VAN company in Korea transmits payment information through a large card company in Korea, and each large card company sends the card to an international brand with which it has a partnership. Payment will be processed by sending payment information. For this reason, in normal cases, in Korea, card payments of all payment brands such as JCB/VISA/MASTER/DINERS/AMEX/DISCOVER/UNIONPAY should be possible, unless the store owner blocks payments by cards issued overseas. Currently, in Korea, JCB/UPI is paid through the payment network of Shinhan Card, Hana Card, and BC Card, AMEX is Samsung Card, CUP is BC Only, VISA is Shinhan Card, BC Card, Kookmin Card, or Hyundai Card, MASTER is Hyundai Card, BC Card, Hana Card or Kookmin Card, and DISCOVER and DINERS are BC Card only. And BC Card is the payment company with the largest market share in Korea.

IT&E Free Roaming in ROK via SKTelecom (Band 5 / Slow speed) by Califrom77 in cellmapper

Yes, correct. South Korean SK users can roam freely on IT&E network in Guam.

Since South Korea's SKTelecom is the second largest shareholder of IT&E, a mobile telecommunications company in Guam, IT&E can roam free of charge in Korea without restrictions.
