I do this much traffic every day and Google Fiber doesn’t care at all.
- TylerE 6y agoDown or up?
- tyingq 6y agoFurther down in the thread he mentions it's 940mbps down, 35 mbps up. That would mean he's got both lines pegged for upload 24/7.
- cma 6y agoThat's not that much upload per line though, someone streaming or video conferencing in 4K or a bit higher all day could come close and be a legit consumer use.
- dboreham 6y agoStreaming all day 4K isn't consumer use.
- wanderer2323 6y agosays who?
- crooked-v 6y agoYes, it is. Consider a large house with an 8-person family (two grandparents, two parents, four children of varying ages 12-18) and it would be pretty easy to have at least one 4K stream active 16-24 hours per day every day. And that's strictly looking at active engagement, not even 'somebody leaves Blue Planet II running in the background because they find it soothing'.
- TylerE 6y agoThis is upload, not download.
- crooked-v 6y agoOkay, so make that a handful of college students sharing a rented house (on a single lease, not separate units): they're all hugely into video games and want to be professional streamers one day, and they all have very different schedules, so for most of most days at least one of them at a time is streaming in 4K to a Twitch channel.
- refurb 6y agoAhh yes, the typical 8 person household!
- IceyEC 6y agoMy household is 5 right up until any family come to visit, and then we'll be 7+ for potentially 2+ weeks
- crooked-v 6y ago"Untypical" is not the same thing as "unreasonable". For many people who aren't you, an extended family living in one house is a normal course of affairs.
- wincy 6y agoI mean he’s paying for two lines. So make it two four person households.
- onion2k 6y agoThen why does Spectrum sell a consumer service that allows users to do that?
- craftinator 6y ago"I dislike when you use the product I sold you"
- throw4738 6y ago4k tv and 4k cameras are consumer grade devices. With 8k or 16k, maybe, but even those are consumer grade devices.
- onion2k 6y agoIf the limit is 35mbps up, and there isn't any throttling based on usage, what's wrong with using that 24/7? That's the service he's paying for.
