My assumption is torrents are a threat to streaming services already and potentially a death blow if uplink speeds are too fast.

My assumption is torrents are a threat to streaming services already and potentially a death blow if uplink speeds are too fast.
- RajT88 3y agoWhen I worked at a small ISP, this was indeed a threat. We offered symmetric speeds though and dealt with it via traffic shaping. It really was just the odd teenager torrenting here and there.
- hhh 3y agowhy would uplink speeds being fast contribute to torrents outside of the first few seeders?... you would just have more peers contributing smaller amounts
- callalex 3y agoAlso new media (streamers and tubers) rely on uploads and are eating cable’s lunch. It’s just extortion through monopoly.
