This week I learned how CRUCIAL fiber optic cables are to the free and open internet. With fiber optic it’s possible for anyone to run high-traffic websites out of their home.

@alex Chattanooga EBP has some of the fastest fiber in the nation. They have a $300/month 10G residential plan 😅

@alex so you’d still have to pay the ISP monthly?

@OccultistWarlock Yes. The reason fiber optic makes a difference is because of its upload speeds. You need fast upload speeds to serve the site to users.With a usual internet plan, even a very fast plan like 1000 Mbps download on cable, will have only around 5 Mbps upload speed. With fiber you get closer to 1000 Mbps download AND upload speeds. You could run a HUGE website on that.

@alex thanks for the info! So for example, would I have to call comcrap and ask them to run fiber to my house?

@OccultistWarlock Maybe. You might already have it, or they might not have serviced your area yet.

@alex @djsumdog the big telcos will shut you off just as fast as amazon will. if they get one single complaint about you "hosting white supremacist nazi violent terrorist content" out of your home they'll pull the plug first and ask questions later

@alex Sure! ...Until the mob comes to the ISP demanding your service be cut for wrong-think. "Just start your own ISP, bigot!"

@meowski @alex EPB is owned by a Tennessee company. I'd have more faith in them than AWS for sure. Where the fuck does Alex Jones host banned.video?

@junkman231 But actually yes: https://startyourownisp.com I think we could crowdfund the $25k necessary to build it. So when are you getting started?

@alex wow, only 25K to ensure I can say what I want online. What a bargain. I withdraw my larger criticism of online censorship

@OccultistWarlock 40 Mbps up is not bad. You could run your own Pleroma server on that.

@alexI'm out of the loop. Has anyone invented a distributed website architecture yet? Think one main site using volunteer host sites to serve up cached data.

@alex @OccultistWarlock Have heard that in europe, all plans have syncronous bandwidth, up and down. Suspect some regulatory prohibition on throttling the upload.
