Video conferencing is not the only thing people do with their residential internet.
- klipt 7y agoIt's the most data intensive thing I can imagine that fits with working from home due to Covid-19. Obviously if you're hosting a website from your home server you can go above that, but why would you do that instead of using a real host and ssh-ing in, which wouldn't even register against 1TB?
- larrywright 7y agoYou’re assuming that nobody has a job that requires transferring large files on a regular basis.
- klipt 7y agoWhy do those files have to be transferred to your home? Can't you use ssh/remote desktop to connect to your office desktop and work with them there?
- myu701 7y agoAutoCAD over local NFS chokes, I can't imagine trying to run it over VDI. Some things are just IO and processor intensive, and for those, having the data be local is a much more efficient process overall.
- dragonwriter 7y ago> AutoCAD over local NFS chokes, I can't imagine trying to run it over VDI. VDI lets the “desktop” actually running the software potentially be more local to the storage than local NFS, even though both are more distant from the end-user, so I don't see the problem.
- larrywright 7y agoYou’re assuming again that everyone has a laptop for home and a desktop at work (rare in my experience).
- rsynnott 7y agoI haven't had an office desktop in around a decade. I have a laptop which I'm currently using at home.
- tzs 7y agoOT: what determines network speed for an AWS EC2 instance? I work from home, and occasionally need to scp a large file from one of our instances at AWS. I've never managed to get that to go faster than 15-20 Mbps.
- dylz 7y agoI routinely deal with large docker images, deployments, sometimes VM stuff, video files, model files. 20-30TB a month is considered a good month. Remote desktop is also a consistent ~50-70Mbps per screen to have readable text while actively working on something (not using RDP/VNC).
