Can be anything, from characters not using objects they have on them, to physics not being realistic, or a very big plot hole.

As an example, one of my friends told me that his pet peeve is that in a lot of sci-fi movies, when spaceships run out of fuel, they stop moving, while inertia and lack of atmosphere should keep them in motion.

    I know. That’s why I specifically mentioned ADSL, which unlike cable has limitations end users can’t override due to how it’s implementated at the exchange

      ADSL is provisioned similarly. You can just re-provision and up the speed beyond your current service level.

        Yup but the speed is rate limited on the telco end by literal codes implemented at the exchange. The issue is have is with end users shown blithely ‘flipping a switch’ to increase their ADSL speed on the fly. I literally used to program the AXIS codes for bigpond, you can’t override that shit from the user end

          Movie users are simply built different and have the switch patched in all the way from their house to the exchange.
