So I am seeding like a mad man and according to my boradband provider I have unlimited usage and data…
But I have heard that others when seeding and they were told they have “unlimited” the broadband provider cut them off after X amount… What can I do to ensure this doesn’t happen?
Knowing who your provider is would (might) help. Xfinity has a 1TB or 1.2TB soft cap, which you can exceed once or twice a year without concern. Beyond that you fall into their top (I think it’s) 1% of users and may be asked to scale back or to pay an excess usage fee (which was non-trivial the last time I looked - something like $10/50GB).
Is that the US? I’m on another side of the Earth and never heard about any caps at any speed.
Also fuck that $10, I’m getting unlimited 1Gbps (most of the time) with that amount of money and they even offer 2 free months/12months subscription (you can cancel at anytime with either refunds or only pay for the months you used).
Other free things I can get from my ISP:
Because fiber and WiFi are everywhere due to too cheap even mountainous, mobile providers are in trouble of extinction.
Yeah, US is a real backwater when it comes to data - availability, privacy, you name it. Heck, my ISP will let me install for free, but I either have to buy my own modem or pay them $15/mo to rent one of theirs. I technically get wifi roaming with the company I use, but it’s rarely useful. I won’t torrent without a VPN; my ISP is a hardass for torrenting.
There are decent plans in some areas in the big cities in the US, but outside of that it’s pretty bleak…and there’s a lot of “outside of the cities” in the US.
Which part of the world is this?
