In North America, using Xfinity for reference. I want to create both a home NAS and offline Wiki/media backup. Problem is to get the amount of data I need would blow through my plan and throttle my speed. I guess I could try and do it over a longer period or download just before the billing cycle renews so even if I go over it will reset. I would rather avoid these scenarios, the only other thing I can think of is using a cafe or library connection, that might be what I have to do. Any ideas on places to download massive amounts of data or ways to get around throttling? Thanks in advance.
ISPs still have data caps?
That should be outlawed by now.
Yeah I have a 3TB data cap with Proximus on Belgium. Telenet never had a cap, but both mobile and landline signal where I moved to is far better with Proximus.
I am hoping that is counts for downloads only and not uploads (seeding)
Absolute robbery, but at least the prices are around half of what I paid in the US for phone and internet. 70€ vs $145.
I’ve never heard of caps here in the US, except on mobile plans. But that is more that they throttle you after so many TB’s
