New lease for an apartment, is this normal practice?
I might want to torrent occasionally. Would I be fine with a standard VPN?

Yes it's normal, just get a VPN and dont download terabytes of stuff and you're fine.
Some homosexuals get greedy. Don't be that homosexual.
Its like you didn't even read it
Lol frick off. You should be able to max out your connection 24/7 without violating anything. If they need to throttle your connection after hitting a specific data limit for the month then that limit should be specified and done automatically.
This contract sounds like it was written by a clueless boomer.
>Lol frick off. You should be able to max out your connection
>your connection
If you're not paying the bill, then it isn't your connection.
>this community's ethernet systems
You don't buy your own internet?
>apartment
you know, the thing all europeans live in and think the entire world should live in because buying your own house is "greedy"
"You don't need so much land, you're wasting all of it up owning a backyard and frontyard"
yeah but do you grow your own food homosexual
im gladly growing a nice garden in my backyard including weed (yes im a weed addicted gay)
In an apartment you still buy your own internet moron.
not in the us apparently.
You're getting israeliteed by whoever owns the apartment.
not me, thank god i'm not a burger...
I can also make shit up about countries that I don't live in.
Lived in several US apartments; never seen one where I didn't have to get my own internet. Where the frick do you live?
I've lived in two different apartments after moving out and had to pay for my own internet. But technically they were split houses, not apartment complexes.
Ive always paid for my own internet in every apartment I’ve lived it. It’s the price you pay for being a fricking commie. Get your own line and stop being a leach.
this is because eurocucks cannot into agriculture
>New lease for an apartment, is this normal practice?
Definetly not.
>I might want to torrent occasionally. Would I be fine with a standard VPN?
If it indeed there is a QoS system monitoring bandwith on the network, in addition to the VPN you will need to throttle your traffic.
Depends, maybe the ISP just provides the uplink and let the entire building manage its own network infrastructure and rent it out to tenants.
checked, but it is what it is.
Wasted digits, most apartments in europe you can get your own connection even from multiple ISPs.
>Depends, maybe the ISP just provides the uplink and let the entire building manage its own network infrastructure and rent it out to tenants.
Is this a thing somewhere? weird.
no lol op is renting a shared residence and sharing their internet connection. his landlord/roommate is just a power tripping moron.
>Definetly not.
It looks like a "home network". That thing where a home admin might support a DC hub, some pirate WoW/Lineage servers, you know. I don't know where it is and how cucked its "acceptable use policy", but true home networks are based because they're free of any copyright laws and work on 1Gbps+.
>It looks like a "home network".
Yup looks like it but at least in my country it was common in the late 90s-early 2000s and fell off once ISPs started bringing FTTB/FTTH everywhere. It isn't that common nowadays, and I wouldn't expect this stuff in the US
this is fricking moronic
two trips in a row, wow
No a VPN won't help you bevuase they are literally talking about BANDWIDTH. If you are torrenting they will likely turn off your internet, regardless of the legality.
>we require... spyware software
hmm
>we want to monitor the free internet we provide
Problem?
>leased apartment
>free internet
are you moronic anon?
Of course he is willing to connect to a free internet along with all his neighbors.
we need a global wall of sheep
the boomer landlord is probably just logging into their router and checking network traffic. you can do this in your own home to test it out. I would ASSUME all op needs to do is limit their DL speed to average netflix stream rate so their torrent looks like he's just being a normie and set upload to 0.
if hes on public trackers nobody will care, but if hes on a private one lmao.
OP here, I'm sure I could get my own internet, but it's a nice place and it's a flat $35 fee for all utilities including fiber internet so
Huge red flag bro
tell em you're a big boy who can pay for their own utilities themselves

What kind of commie shit is this? Just buy your own internet.
Yes its normal. Did you get to the page where he gets to frick your wife and eat your food?
Think of it as public or corporate wifi. It's shit and out of your control so buy your own.
>this community requires that ... SPYWARE SOFTWARE ... be loaded and routinely maintained on all computers connected to this service
Presumably they meant anti-spyware software...
wouldn't even be surprised if l*ndl*rds scrape and sell user data with this moronic shit
Get your own wifi. Simple as.
thats code word for
>All free wifi is running on a router from 2008 and if you slow it down by trying to watch netflix I'll unplug your internet
>for Windows based computers
kek
I would just use VPN and limit my download speed in my torrent client.
>Get your own internet
Why? If I can download more than 3MB/s I don't need more.
this reminds me of a dorm i used to live at a few years ago. I just ran a vpn on tcp 443 which was unmetered and started basically seedboxing. my record was 40 TB traffic in a month
the only would you would bring me to use linux
>get enough internet for Xmpbs/apartment and distribute it using mikrotik and a potato router for each apartment and save the monitoring shit.
Is this so hard?
Not a vpn problem, torrent over vpn will still clog their "network", and you will be seen as the culprit. Offer your /hsg/ skills, install a real router woth fq codel and everyone can torrent.
Also please remind them that they require *anti* spyware software. This means adblocking is compulsory (offer a pihole or equivalent as network level adblocking as per the antimalware clause)
First paragraph is kinda standard but obviously stupid.
Second paragraph is pants on head moronic and totally legally unenforceable.
I'm guessing they bundle everyone's internet to get a cheaper rate from their ISP and have to do things like this to maintain everyone's QoS. Why would you ever live at a place where some literally-who network admin's ToS can get your lease broken and you evicted? I've seen bundled internet implemented decently at a friends place but the wording here reads like a boomer IT reject on a voyeuristic power trip.
>requires that ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE, FIREWALL SOFTWARE, SPYWARE SOFTWARE and, for Microsoft Windows based computers, MICROSOFT SECURITY PATCHES and UPDATES be loaded and routinely maintained on all computers connected to this service.
op please dont let some pajeet install shitty 10 year old software on your system
at the very least boot into a gentoo or arch system still on the terminal and tell them that this is all your pc does and they'll frick off since they cant figure out your obscure package system or how you even connected to them in the first place
Yeah it's normal
It basically says "hey man, we don't give a frick as long as no one is complaining about shit being slow"
not all vpn providers alllow torrent p2p traffic.
i suggest you go with mullvad but if your only intend is to torrent go with the cheapest that allows torrenting
fricking boomers
What the frick is that.
Is this common in america to share internet across your building ?
here everyone got his own subscription.
apartments just offer wifi
Building wide internet? what?
Why don't you just pay for your own connection like a civilized person?
Like frick is a landlord going to shut my internet off while I'm abusing myself to strange and exotic porn and like FRICK am I going to have to wait one more second while loading said porn because Kyle next door is torrenting the entirety of Seinfeld upscaled to 8K.
Wait it just dawned on me, does one landlord own the ENTIRE building that he can do this building wide monitoring or do American landlords organize into building specific cabals?
I would just do what you want and if they give you shit for it get your own connection instead. Maybe you don't pirate enough to exceed their "acceptable use", and if you do a VPN isn't going to change anything except you'll probably get a visit from the landlord when they realize you're still using 40TB a month and they can't just block some ports.
With a document like this you can be sure they have hidden cameras all throughout the apartment. Avoid at all costs.
