A high definition youtube video, transfers over 40MiB of data per minute.
If 100.000 teenagers decide to test it (obviously not all of them concurrently), then yes, it will possibly come to the point where it isn't justified for HE to keep the service up.
It doesn't need to bring their network down, it is enough to cost them more than what they get in return.
Since the youtube pages mentioned are permanently banned from Germany, this could be a pretty sustainable spike.
- dubfan 14y agoI don't have the stats on it but the increase in bandwidth from people using the tunnel to watch YouTube videos is likely a drop in the bucket compared to people leeching Usenet binaries all day off the free IPv6 Usenet servers. I understand your concern but I think you are underestimating how much usage the IPv6 tunnels get right now.

- 0x0 14y agoBiggest IPv6 peer, as I understand it, right? I'm not sure how much traffic that represents in total?
