In Denmark, FTTH is common. The fiber-providers each have an area that they connect. There is no overlap, unlike in the Netherlands where some households have multiple fibers sticking out of the pavement. These fiber-providers provide services for a few different ISP’s, some regional and some nationwide. These are the broadband options at my location from the “CheckYourNetwork” website, prepared by the Agency for Digitisation (Digitaliseringsstyrelsen). My location is connected by EWII, a local energy company that also provides internet service.

A lot has been written about this. Classic phishing, email from support@icloud.com to urge you to do something (stupid). Rule one with such emails, check the sender, for example on MacOS: That’s an official Apple address, WTF? The funny thing is that most blogs ignore this fact and apparently accept it as possible. Really? Apple should be in full control of this email domain. Someone suggested that it’s just a user email address, like somebody has an AppleID called “support”. Of course not. The truth is much simpler and anybody can find it. Just display the real, i.e. raw, email content with a font likeRead More →
