I’m just talking about the content in the case of Second Life. It’s distributed through BitTorrent, which was one of its selling points at launch.

Though at this point, it might have emulated servers as well.

What exactly are you wanting to host at home that you need super fast upload speeds, and how much traffic are you even expecting to see?

Second Life?

Everything is hosted locally and created by the players. It works on BitTorrent tech to send and receive the data of objects and shit.

There are also players run emulated servers for older MMOs like Ultima Online, EverQuest even WoW, making it somewhat decentralized. You’re not forced to actually subscribe to and play on the official servers (if they even still exist).

Yeah. Bit hard to switch messenger apps when they don’t talk to each other if nobody you’re talking to switches with you.

That’s the only way I’ve ever heard it pronounced in actual speech. Of course, the only times I have heard people talking about it IRL is in CS classes and the like. I don’t know many tech nerds IRL to have conversations about computer standards with.

Uh… No? You get the exact same consumer protections, and you can actually do more with the business account than your standard home internet plan.

Get a business account with your ISP and get one of those weird plans that gives you more up speed than down speed.

I thought it was kinda weird that the WISP I worked for has even up and down speeds for most plans. Though they were also twice as expensive as Comcast, but if you were using the WISP it’s because you don’t really have access to anything else.

(don’t mind me, just need to post in the community once on the new account)
