Victim: Listen, I know I bid $5,000.00 but would you accept an offer of $1?
Website: Sure!

Fark you on the pay a little less for work at home, honestly should be the same or more.

My utilities go up, gas for heat, electric for AC, computer equipment, lighting; per policy, I need a dedicated space without distraction or disturbance, this means I need more space, or have to sacrifice existing living space and affects the use of the space by others.

I no longer have access to the beverages or snacks provided, no more team lunches, etc.

Sure I don't have to commute, however, I still must pay the same installment on my car loan and insurance payments.

I need to supply, and maintain my own internet and home network, sufficiently to accommodate my work use. In most instances I am "WFH" not a remote worker, so I'm not permitted to travel away from home to better use this "freedom"

Work from home, after the initial infrastructure, will save the business quite a bit in maintaining physical locations, sanitation and disinfection, climate control, utilities, this can be used to better reward the employees or provide better resources and infrastructure for remote work.

I think at this point, you need to be reminded that you're not buying a product, you're paying for a Service. That distinction is important, as you likely have expectations when you're paying for a service that it improve.

This sounds like an Inergen type system... the two failings are the particulate matter it stirs up and the vibration caused by the sounds of a freight train rolling through...

48 Hours without Google Maps or Waze for the LA Metro area....

This isn't the shoulder, this is the carpool lane on the 405. Notice the double yellow lines on the far side and single yellow on the nearside. Somewhere around 33.990053, -118.400939.

Considering how narrow it is... I'm sorry for him...

Filters require a tech/truck roll to remove, you would loose the "self install" option and would see the return of setup/install fees for most services/changes.

No argument there if you wish to spawn on access, or just use a frozen image with COW.

However, you failed to read, or at least quote the one line that makes this relatively possible...

In other words, allow them to do what they need to do, up to the point it becomes a risk, and then step in. I mean, really, if you have people with a legitimate need to download that much to do their jobs, is it not possible that you may have a poorly spec'd image for your systems?

So far it seems everyone is trying to bring "open internet" to the users computer... why?

It sounds as if this is intended to be on an "infrequent" and "exception" basis.

Deploy a terminal server in a DMZ, users can then remote in and browse from there. If you want to allow open downloading, provide a restricted AV protected share to retrieve downloaded files, if you do not want to allow open downloading, provide one anyways but require an IT person to review it manually.
Reimage nightly if paranoid.

Oh and I will hate over ATT for the green soup that our land lines on the poles have turned into without any reinvestment.

Oh trust me... there are plenty...

Also, I believe the city had some say in where they started, and in what order zoning/permitting was/is being approved.

Now if you want to go and say they are cherry picking markets as in those where it will do well (big cities), let me show you every commercially available communications advance (POTS with > 28.8, DSLAMs, ISDN, Cell Service, 4G, Cable, Broadband)

I hope to see a Defamation/Libel case coming to a court room near you!
