Domains presumed to represent 'home' users
Grenville Armitage, 4/30/01


I decided that addresses falling under the following sub-domains probably represent clients coming from consumer/personal ISP accounts. No attempt is made to exhaustively cover all possible consumer-related domains, so this list provides a rough lower bound.

.da.uu.net
.pacbell.net
.shawcable.net
.dsl.gtei.net
.uswest.net
.mediaone.net
.earthlink.net
.swbell.net
.telus.net
.popsite.net
.bellatlantic.net
.Level3.net
.dial-access.att.net
.pub-ip.psi.net
.inreach.net

.home.com
.rr.com
.aol.com
.dialup.mindspring.com
.dsl.mindspring.com
.lvcm.com
.btinternet.com
.telocity.com
.rcn.com

I attempted to make home vs work inferences about domain names outside the non-regional domains of ".com", ".net", ".edu", and ".org". Unfortunately it wasn't possible to do so accurately (due to my own ignorance of the ISPs in different countries). So, the "XX% of players do so from home" analysis is relative to the number of players on my server who fell under the ".com", ".net", ".edu", and ".org" domains.

Note: I've decided ".edu" is more like 'work' use (clients are using university/school infrastructure to access the Internet).
