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?
It depends on
In the states, I’ve never hit a wall of any kind on my home internet. I’m on fiber now, but when I was on cable it was the same, in several different states. In general, as soon as one of the (usually only two, because USA broadband monopolies yay!) providers for the area tried to implement some kind of cap, everyone in the area just jumped onto the other provider and the cap eventually went away because they were hemorrhaging customers.
For mobile, its vastly different. There are only a couple cell providers in the whole united states that actually offer uncapped unlimited data, and both of those still come with stipulations, usually things like “During peak hours your bandwidth may be throttled” or something similar. They also cost $80 to $100+ per month. Most cell providers in the states throttle you hard when you go over a certain cap, usually 15-30gb depending on the provider, and what kind of contract you got. You can still connect, but you’re now running at 256kbs or something terrible. So technically, its still unlimited, just useless until next month when your cap refreshes.
This is common in Australia broadband, heard awful stories about that…
