Telecom Broadband can not open the foreign website how to do

As we all know, China Telecom's slogan is "The World is within reach", but now, such words have become a kind of irony. Recently, micro-BO users burst material, Shanghai Telecom in mid-August will launch a new "Browse foreign sites" value-added services, this is through the consultation of the official customer service received a clear answer. In this respect, netizens question telecom This is to go the Krypton Gold Hand Tour route or pay DLC route?

Earlier countries to reduce the cost of speed seems to have become the past clouds, we now can not afford to ask for cheap speed, at least first of all to keep browsing the speed of foreign websites bar.

Here we leave aside the topic of scientific Internet to discuss, in general not to be blocked foreign websites, Telecom has the right to charge for better connection services? The answer is: yes.

The speed and stability of the connection to the extranet usually do not have servers in the domestic site fast, this is because China as a whole to connect to the Internet bandwidth is limited, compared to the domestic network more prone to congestion, the other more remote transmission plus the possibility of a transit server, resulting in data transmission there are delays.

But these are objective factors, as to whether the telecommunications in the end to limit the speed of users to connect the network, although the official did not reply, the answer is certainly there.

Ordinary local broadband services usually refer to the domestic connection speed, the speed of connecting to overseas sites will be limited, such as the Hong Kong broadband introduced 1Gbps broadband, the extranet is limited to 20M. Domestic telecommunications service providers generally do not mark the connection of the bandwidth of the network number is.

Extranet bandwidth is a limited resource, so it's reasonable to pay for a better connection, just as you can spend more money on a peer-to-peer broadband service. The mistake of telecommunications is that it does not initially indicate the speed of the extranet, and then the introduction of additional fee-based services can easily cause anger.

As for the principle of network neutrality mentioned in some comments, it has nothing to do with this. Network neutrality refers to operators to equal treatment of all network traffic, not specific traffic (such as video) charges, which mainly involves the relationship between the operator and the site.

What we are talking about is the transparency of services and the problem of network infrastructure.
