I was running 900 Mbps constant download for over 2 weeks on Zipply and never once got a notice. So they might honestly let people use the full data allowance.

130TB huh? That’s a lot of Linux ISOs.

Not that it's feasible, but they themselves won't have the bandwidth for a few 50gbps users 24/7.

My 1gbps service is a 2.5gbps GPON split between 32 other users, i've always seen 1gbps. But theoretically it would only take 3 of us to max the connection out

I did something similar on Comcrap, but over the course of a month or 2 (Yes, I pay for their stupid little modem so I can get their stupid little addon for unlimited) and speeds varied between 600ish-850ish

I thought for SURE I was going to get something, at the very least a "Hey your usage patterns have massively changed, check your network for intruders" email.

I didn't get squat, so if Comcrap of all companies can do it I don't see why any other would have a problem with it lmao
