Ahhh, OK. Didn't know about that. Sounds like a significant cost, for likely crappy performance, and not being able to use the custom router that I'm using now. Not even a remote chance of such a thing happening.
People who use this things usually do for one of the following reasons:
* They live in an isolated area where no ISP will ever bring cabling.
* They want a router they can carry arround so they can build a mini LAN aro cable.
People like me are the primary audience for the first type. I am lucky becau there is a Wimax provider. Wimax subscriptions are much slower but their quality of service is very steady.

Hi all. Which VPN service do you use?
of
the township border. I'm hoping my township follows through and applies for the grant money to run fiber. My neighbor down the road tried out a T-mobile 5g gateway, and they couldn't get a solid enough signal.
When it comes to downloading, I use IRC (just take a look at Wikipedia's XDCC article). Low retention, but you can request stuff and usually get awesome download speeds. Remember: copying is not stealing :)
From a network administration perspective, bittorrent is evil incarnate. A bittorrent client generates multiple connections which take a lot of bandwidth.That is a higher strain for networking equipment than just
Personally, I recommend against using torrents at all. All the stuff is oTorrent over I2P works fine.
What I have heard is copyright holders hire agents to pester torrent swarms andcover for movies which they deem worth protecting (which I guess are the recentones). These agents locate torrent swarms for those movies, join as a regular
downloader, notice which peers are members of the swarm and then register whichones can be threatened.
well your network administrator needs to go take some classes.
that should not happen. and the default settings of torrent clients wont re >

What do you mean by "hire" here?
likely you are going to have to hire an ISP anyway.
What do you mean by "hire" here?
Hiring an ISP here would mean getting an Internet Subscription.
Ah. Generally I don't hear people say they "hire" an ISP.

A Bittorrent client tends to generate a connection to every peer it can find, and generates periodic broadcast traffic. Those are lots of intermitent connections that come and go. A stream from Netflix that uses
My home uplink is quite limited and the difference shows. Youtubing max speed generates less impact on the rest of the LAN users than torrenting. None of them maks the network unusable for the other users, but you do notice when somebody is trying to torrent anything.
that's probably because of the outgoing connections. and your connection and network probably sucks.

Hi there! In terms of VPN services, the choice often depends on
individual needs such as security features, speed, server locations,
and pricing. However, as a <a href="https://iqratechnology.com/hire-php-developer/">software developer</a>, I prioritize VPNs that offer robust encryption
protocols, reliable performance, and compatibility with various
operating systems and devices. Services like ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and CyberGhost are popular choices among developers due to their strong security measures, wide server network, and user-friendly interfaces. Ultimately, the best VPN service for software development will be one
that aligns with your specific requirements and provides a seamless experience for secure coding, collaboration, and testing.

When you use those VPN services, they know what your originating IP is, what your destination IP is, and what kind of traffic you're sending to that destination. It's the same stuff that your ISP would know if you weren't using the VPN. I'm not sure what difference it makes which one them has that information. You're already paying your ISP, so unless yo have some reason not to trust them, why would you go trust some other rando any more than them?
If you do any torrenting, some ISPs actively monitor torrent activity, where ISP with that information..
