Oh i read your post on this buddy, i am just trying to figure out what the fuck are you downloading to fill up 35TB internal give or take for games and some programs!!!. I know by any means it is not my business, but come on McGyver!!! that is insane!!!, and i am crazy and heck even Cabby is crazy (we discuss this every once and a while), but that is really insane!!! now you say you have another x amount for external??!! Again that is just insane!!!, you will be in heaven before you can watch everything you have downloaded!!!..I can download a ton of shit!! but half of it i skim through and delete it if it is shit!!, like a lot of the B movie shit that is uploaded on the servers, to me it is a waste of space and i don't bother keeping it, and no one in the household will ever watch it either.. All the best to you buddy, or should i say you are a Audio and Videowhorehoarder
I know that Comcast Xfinity now in Florida where i stay in Hollywood, they deal, i call retention like i do here and got better promotions, so they will deal, and this is in a condo that part of it is paid in the maintenance and the rest my mother-in law, and i do it here with rogers as well. Now don't jump down my throat and i can assume you are using SSL to download, so they see how much but don't know shit on what?? Forget all that VPN crap !! I never used it for downloading, i used it when i wanted to get the US Netflix programing that's all....Comca$t in my area wants an extra $30 /month for Unlimited. They didn't add that feature to stay competitive (but to make more money), there is no other option for high-speed Internet (which I also wrote in previous post).
What you are telling me on the space you have and all the HDD's no doubt it will cost more!! Still insane, but i was told a long time ago you shouldn't really have those enclosures on 24hrs a day?? The one i have with a fan is a bit better, but some of them only have thermal shells and that is not the greatest for the drives??It would cost me more than $500 to build another computer to use just for streaming.
What program are you using for streaming?? If you don't mind me asking??
Fuckin Call!!! What will it hurt?? Especially if you are a good customer and been with them for a long time?? Forget your politics crap!! we all don't have the best choices if you want the better quality ISP!!, so you work with what you got and try to get the best deal to put the money towards your new NAS buddyI never called anyone. Some Comca$t subcontractor that handles "bandwidth abuse" calls me. I asked for a supervisor when they told me there is no limit, but I'm using too much bandwidth. I get the same message from them. They don't care if Comca$t looses customers. I called Comca$t and they had no idea what I was talking about. Back then their Internet service never had a limit (written in print), not until they had customers like us. The problem was high bandwidth users were slowing things down for other customers on the same node. Then Comca$t started monitoring bandwidth use and hired a company to contact customers that were deemed bandwidth abusers. Monopolies can do what they want, especially when politicians are complicit.
If you look at Rogers site?? and look at the prices they show, i am paying less than half, of what is posted on there, that is the truth!!! And i have been with them for umpteen years!!. EG. I was with Bell, which would be your at&t, and i had there internet for a short time and it was shit compared to Broadband in my area, and i slowly moved all my services to Rogers and i have no contract, i can cancel anytime, and when the promotions come close to expiring, i call them back ask for retention and get the best deal i can, and most of the time it goes up maybe $5 a month, and they give me better cable channels or something, but the last time i called them it actually went down, because they knew i was really pissed on the cost they show on the web page, and i am a loyal customer!!!!
Again it doesn't hurt to try...
Just a suggestion and trying to help buddy
PS. I should tell you that when i am in Florida, i don't really download that much, i get my son to send me stuff on the Google Cloud, in December a ton of screeners usually come out and i watch them there when i go back late to what i call the shoe box (condo is not that big) , and retrieve and put on a 64GB key that i bought at your best buy cheaper than i could buy here including the Tax and Exchange!!!, and i just leave that one there......
Again just sayin
