These are end user security concerns of significance that I am experiencing
first hand as an average Internet user. Published it at
https://wealthyworld.blogspot.com/?m=1 with two PDFs and an audio narrative
embedded in it.
◦ *Coercive Field Staff Conduct (Jio Fiber)*: Jio field staff
attempted *coercive
installation tactics*, including aggressively demanding OTPs for the wrong
"AirFiber" connection, refusing to acknowledge my hold request, pressure to
surrender equipment, making false claims (e.g., wired Jio Fiber being
unavailable when it is present), and *surreptitiously recording
conversations*. This constituted a "violation of privacy" and consumer
rights
.
• *Broader Digital Identity and System Integrity Concerns*:
◦ *Identity Document Misuse*: The discovery that my *expired driving
license number might have been used by someone else* highlights a severe
potential for identity misuse and fraud. Despite getting a renewed license,
the new numbering convention and vague history leave open questions about
past misuse
.
◦ *Persistent System Disruptions*: I have experienced *"persistent,
targeted disruptions"* over the past five years, including "storage
integrity" issues (hard disks becoming unrecoverable), "progress reset and
reversed again and again" in application development, and "DNS lab get
contaminated by script file corruption"
. These point to "possible surveillance, sabotage, or automated policy
enforcement mechanisms," and even *"persistent firmware/rootkit infections"*.
These incidents led me to stop participating as a node in the
Interplanetary Network after an NVMe incident
.
◦ *Current Precautions*: Given these concerns, for the past 3 weeks, I
have been using Railwire broadband only for television, connecting my
computer to a USB live operating system through a tethered mobile
connection . The Jio AirFiber modem remains unplugged and unused .
These issues, particularly the denial of user control, restrictive IP
policies, and inadequate security practices by ISPs, are considered a
*"national
concern"* as they affect *"millions of RailWire and Jio users"* and
pose *"structural
vulnerabilities in last-mile internet provisioning,"* undermining user
trust, digital innovation, and independent network management.
