this is LLM slop
Meaning ??
And, what's your take on it?
I found a very interesting article.
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/computer-networks/packet-switching-and-delays-in-computer-network/
Can this same principle be used applied for transferring data from one machine to another across the world ??
I feel you didn't read the article? Packet switching was the central idea behind ARPANET? There's no question whether it could be used?! I mean you're looking at the first large-scale network of that kind...
I really wish to have an alternative to big corps regarding the internet.

Well, the internet has to come to your home in some way, right? And someone needs to dig long trenches and lay cables to connect you to the next internet node/hub. Usually that's done by big companies. Because it costs a lot of money to lay these cables, power all the amplifiers and switches... Maybe you have a smaller local provider available in your region. But other than that, you'd need someone to provide the infrastructure to you.
We do have cable connections. That gives a sound speed for watching live matches ??
