And here I am with AT&T always getting at about 10/3 when I pay for 45/5 (I know it sucks)
"CONNECT UP TO 10 DEVICES WITH 4K VIDEO STREAMS & GAMING"
Yeah sure
My internet speeds are so ass that I'm seriously considering getting myself an external hard drive and download stuff at work
Over-provisioning.
Decided to call Cox and find out when we'd be getting gigablast ran through the neighborhood and also asked why I'm not facing any kind of bandwidth issues even during peak hours.
Come to find out I'm the only Cox customer within about 3 miles and I more or less have a dedicated line because of that. They said that it will be the same case most likely with gigablast so I could end up seeing 1250-1500mbps speeds when that rolls out.
Same thing literally any ISP does unless you buy a dedicated fiber circuit or an OC192 ring or some shit.
Some are worse than others though.
It's crazy to me that I'm getting these speeds here in Fort Smith Arkansas, but in Syracuse New York (where you'd think that there would be a better infrastructure) I was struggling to get 20/1 at 2am...
uni wifi seems fast, but I'm getting some horrible latency on some games (I tried CSS), any ideas?

So, I need a fuckton of storage, like 6TB plus, how the fuck do I choose what to buy from all the trash that is available? all I see are these color coded stuff that tells me not much.
What are you going to be using it for? Games, media/porn?
If you don't need uptime and just need to hold stuff. Buy a 6TB External.
I got 100/200 in rural Mississippi, far faster than when I lived near any city.
Or wait for an 8TB WD External sale and shuck it.
Depends on what you need.
I only buy WD because I know their product lineup and trust them, so I only know about their products.
(3.5" drives)
For cheap bulk storage that doesn't need a fast spindle (5400 RPM):
WD Red (Usually better reliabiltiy rating, 6-10 TB Options)
WD Blue ( 2-6TB Options)
For basically everything else:
WD Gold (7200 RPM, factory burn-in tested, 1-12 TB Options)
There are Red-Pros, and Blacks, but the specs are very roughly the same, and I've found the Blacks to be more expensive (for less reliability), and the Red Pros to be roughly the same price.
Hoarding steam games, PDFs, music, gamerips (got a few PS3 titles I need to take outta my HDD) and source code for a lot of stuff.
Yeah I'd GET a WD red then as long as you have other space for games that benefit from faster storage (many don't really).
A few Reds (I find in the US that 6TB drives are the sweetspot for pricing) should work, if it's active source code then may as well toss that on an SSD.
It's okay. I'll probably start smaller with 4TB and go from there.
Or get lucky like I did and have Amazon fuck up and send you a Red 6TB instead of a Black 500 GB
Have you attempted a traceroute?
I'm a fan of the Seagate IronWolf line for bulk storage.
Server cases in general are retarded to try and find as an individual. Not to mention they're ridiculously expensive for what they are.
I tried finding a nice 2-3U case for a project I have in mind, if it gets to that point, and they're all like 5x more expensive than what I'd be willing to fork out for one.
Not to mention finding a short case was essentially impossible, which I really would have needed for what I had in mind.
I'm on an Local ISP.
Local ISP loves me.
I love Local ISP.
100/20 and direct peering with Cloudflare and a direct route from my town to USA.
Very sexy for $79 that I don't pay. The landlord does.
I do this anyway to avoid comcast datacaps
I'm getting 200/25 w/ no datacaps for $25 (~$60 if you do a "living costs conversion" rather than straight BRL->USD), which used to be 50/25, in Brazil of all places. Changing from Net Virtua to a Local ISP was the best thing I could ever have done.
It drops out and chugs from time to time, but nowhere near as bad as I had on that DOCSIS pile of garbage that was Net Virtua, fiber connection ftw.
Unfortunately big US ISPs have poured countless millions into blocking local and municipal ISPs all across the country.
We don't have this issue in New Zealand (thankfully).
The only ISP with a monopoly is Vodafone after they took over Telstra's Cable network, but cable's shit unless you live in certain places that can't have fibre.
We're fortunate enough that we don't have to deal with something as bad as NBN, I've heard so many bad things about the Australian Fibre network.
In saying that we don't have Ajit Pai...
Yeahhh, I'll need to figure out that whole cap thing soon.

Seedbox time.
That's honestly not a huge chunk, and I'd have to still download whatever finished on the seedbox. It's just more of an inherent problem in apartment that 2 network engineers reside in.
