I would riot if I were faced with usage caps.

I just checked and 6 days into my billing cycle, my ISP reports that I’ve downloaded 160 gigs of data. That seems miss-estimated, but I’ll check the router logs later.

(2 WFH adults who put on streaming services for the dogs. No piracy, incidentally - only 6 gigs uploaded.)

...you put on shows for your dogs?

I mean, yeah. Absolutely. In addition to separation anxiety, they both just get bored while we’re stuck working.

Our pitbull likes Disney movies. Our heeler really likes to watch large animals and dog herding shows, but gets too excited when small animals are on screen. Both of them really seem to enjoy dog agility competitions.

They would do the same for you.

The noise is supposed to help with their separation anxiety.

I haven't researched if there's scientific studies backing it, but that's the reason.
