What are you uploading? Where is the original source for the content being uploaded?
Getting a high speed connection from a virtual server sitting somewhere in the cloud or at a VPS provider isn’t going to help you, if the original content lives on your laptop. You still have to get that content up to the high bandwidth system, and so you haven’t changed the bottleneck — your upstream connection from your home network.
If that’s the use case, then you might want to look into getting a business class connection, since they’re usually set up for symmetric upload and download rates, although they are also usually a lot more expensive.
- dwrodri 5y agoI'm thinking that I can use the server as a high bandwidth cache for large files; I'd schedule uploads overnight to the server and then make them available to myself + others who have asymmetric connections. A lot of what I'm moving that is datasets for machine learning projects: which can be 100s of GBs of images/videos.
