Dang, is it reverse day??? Weird.
Looks like the FB engineers got hold of the Speed knobs on his internet.
I don't think I have ever seen that before. I venture to believe it does not happen that often.

Is that with just your test gear connected? You could have other devices / users hogging the download bandwidth. Good luck

He, more than Curtis, is actively malicious in every answer he gives.
Yeah, what's considered allowable maliciousness in some of those posts is pretty extreme.
Such inconsistency... I got booted by them just for calling out sales dick posts.

Today's customer conversation...
Customer: "Hi, you guys have been great but now that you aren't local we don't feel comfortable [fyi, we have local people still just I am not local] so we want to use a local IT provider. We'd like to stop paying for your service."
Me: "We understand, and understood months ago when the new IT firm came in and seized control without talking to us. I talked to your COO and worked out the end of service for that day and you've not been billed since then... months ago."
Customer: "Oh, well I get a bill I'd like to cancel whatever that is."
Me: "That's your phone service that you always had separate from any IT support. You went through several phone services while with us as IT because you didn't want to use us but none could get your phones to work so you finally gave in and paid half as much with us and your phones have been with us for years now."
Customer: "I don't understand what phone service is. What does that mean. Just cancel service."
Me: "...."
How do you deal with a customer who has had RingCentral, SpectrumVOIP, Charter phones and after decades of owning multiple major medical practices and work for the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and now doesn't even know what a "phone company" does? She's the owner and CIO and doesn't know that phones need service... even though she and she alone has installed and purchased every phone vendor ever for the company!!

At that point, do as asked. Draw up a legal contract for cancelling the phone service and then disconnect it. At least you won't get any more calls from her after that, LOL!

Yeah, no thanks... I've let your random first post slide, but that's crossing into spam.
The link has been changed. Next one is a perma ban. -

Yes it is. We all know that. This seems machine generated.

Department needs access to a computer via RDP so they can process Badges (Application License issue). Let's add them to the Remote Desktop Users group at the USER level so that it's another point to have to manage when on/off boarding someone....
uh - NO. It's a Security Group. You modify the Security Group, you add the Security group to the computer. Sheesh..

Ever have your boss need you to do a little project for him and it involves just typing two words into a file?
