@sun never bothered because for so long I had a bandwidth limit and this was entirely wasteful

Kept hearing extremely so-so stuff, it works for some people, it never does for some. You probably have to have very high speeds, very stable Internet and a good location close to servers, which at that point you can probably just afford the hardware yourself anyways if you have the extra high speed

I would never personally bother with it because something this sensitive that can get fucked anytime your neighbors decides to watch netflix too much is untenable. Most ISP would absolutely blow up if everyone used their connection to the max and if it ever gets widespread we are entirely fucked because the price will increase to hell, the service quality will decrease and nobody will be able to play properly

@coolboymew yeah if you're not in a brand new neighborhood your ISP is overprovisioning your Internet

@sun depends where you live, plenty of places with randomly abysmal connection, especially if there's no competitors around, making this functioning, which needs to be more perfect than streaming because of button input, and you can't just solve the issue with "content servers" either, it's just not worth it

Plus, if I'm streaming, I'd want everything maxed out at 4K or else there's no point
