May 25, 2013 at 04:0677 terabytes per month in home anlim
A resident of California and a happy owner of fiber-optic Internet access at the Verizon FiOS tariff set a personal traffic record: 77 terabytes per month. For him, this is unusually large, because on average over the past few months it turns out no more than 35 terabytes. Although FiOS is considered a tariff without traffic restrictions (honest anlim), but the guy still got a call from Verizon managers.
“I have never heard this happen to anyone. But I probably used more traffic than any FiOS subscriber in California, so I'm not particularly surprised, ” says a user with the nickname houkouonchi on the DSLReports.com forum. Here are my traffic statistics for this year:
January: 35 TB
February: 32 TB
March: 77 TB
April: 28 TB
May: 19 TB (on the 21st day) The
conversation with the managers was short and to the point. The employee asked how the subscriber managed to generate such volumes, as he put it, “30,000% more than the average user at his tariff”. He honestly replied that he had a server at home. The manager immediately said that this violates the terms of the user agreement . Users with a home server are required to switch to a business tariff. Like, if a person does not do this before July 14, then they will turn him off. The subscriber agreed without any problems: he himself knew that he was violating ToS, he simply wanted to save a little.
Houkouonchi used to be at a business rate of 2x150 / 75 Mbps with a cost of $ 340 per month, but since January of this year, it switched to a cheaper user option 300/65 Mbps for $ 200 + per month.
The 27-year-old IT specialist keeps a test lab at home for a local hosting company. It provides friends and relatives with a personal VPN, provides video broadcasts “from a personal video collection,” and also distributes torrents.
In his home rack - seven servers with 209 TB of data. Such a modest home lokalka.
In the data center, Houkouonchi hoster has another personal 2U server, where he has game servers and the only SpeedTest.net site in Los Angeles.
By the way, another user responded to that DSLReports.com forum, who said that he had almost the same server, and a very similar situation, the Verizon manager also called him recently, here is his schedule for recent weeks.
It seems that these two guys are responsible for all the lags that happen on the Verizon network, joked on the forum.
