Screw your caps Cox.I will take my FIOS thank you very much...  And NO caps not even soft. I can use it 24/7 if I want. I already push 20TB/month and its NO problem. Screw u cox. For most of these companies caps are total BS just to get people to use their TV service. If you download all the TV you watch your easily looking at 500-750 GB usage with 1-1.5GB files for 720p series. Much more if 1080p. |

How much is that insane connection? I remember the discussion about you replacing the two FIOS with this super FIOS since you run servers and hosting, but how much does that thing run you per month? |

You can bundle a 150/70 Mbps FiOS connection + TV bundle with every channel Verizon carries including premiums + Phone for $150-200/mo in NY/NJ. If he's bonding two of those he might be looking at $400 a month. |

It is a bit over $400/month; however, for 450 megabits of combined (up/down bandwidth it comes out to less than $1 per megabit of up/down speed. Much better pricing than most others. Also no cap so if I maxed the up and down I could potentially use 130TB/month up and down. Also many people have TV/phone/internet 35/35 which can do 10TB/month (20TB in/out) and again no caps. |

I'd love to have that type of link.
What's the router handling all this traffic? |

A 1u box with an intel core i3-2120t (35w TDP) machine. The atom 1.6 Ghz box I had before wasnt quite fast enough to handle VPN at the speeds I needed which I use for the bonding. |

Totally agree with you and so jealous of your insane connection. You rock Drool. |

you downloading 20 TB a month is why companies have caps. it's called REASONABLE useage. |

Linux since that is what I am intimately familiar with and not even sure if there is a packet based round robin bonding driver for bsd so not even sure if I could do what I am doing on bsd. |

I got news for ya buddy. When a connection is labeled "UNLIMITED" especially FiOS, ANY amount of usage is reasonable. The only way it would be unreasonable is if its not labeled "UNLIMITED" |

Hes paying over $400 a month for a 450 mb connection. For that kind of money and that kind of bandwidth 20TB, he *can* do a total of 130TB a month so hes using less than 1/6th of what he can use. Only using 1/6th of what you pay for hardly seems unreasonable to me. |
|

to 88615298
20TB is completely reasonable. That's only 15% utilization of his $400/month connection. Maybe after 100TB you could say he was downloading a lot, but even then the ISP has no right to complain since they chose to offer such a fat pipe |

If I downloaded all the TV I watch, it would be Zero used of a 1MB cap. The reason is pretty simple. I no longer watch TV or any sort of Paid Programming so your argument is a non-issue for me. Heck I've even stopped using BT for the same reason I quit watching TV and going to the Movies. Nothing good available.
What I do miss is my local bookstore as I prefer reading over any of the passive experiences of simply watching. |

If I was able to get Verizon where I live, I would jump ship the day I found out FIOS was available in my area =/ |

Do you ever see consistent bonding on the upload side that gets you closer to the theoretical 150Mbps upload capability? |

As much as I'd like all Apple products to be illegal, downloading 1080p TV shows from iTunes is far from being an illegal activity. |

It is 150 up. The problem is that speedtest.net does not measure upload as accurate. Using the web100 ndt test takes a little bit of time to ramp up and gives me results around 280/130. Speedtest.net is accurate on the downstream side of things. |

And for every one person that has 20TB of usage, I'm sure there's a hundred+ that barely hit 100MB. Use it up! There's plenty to go around. |

Please define what is reasonable? Most people have there own definition of what they consider reasonable. The others just go with the flow. |

What VPN service are you using to bond your connection? I'd like to bond connections here, since I can only get 10mbps dsl but would like to bond multiple lines. |
|
| |
to houkouonchi
Dude A+ for ingenuity, now for the question. What linux flav are you using for this, and are you VPNing into another place to achieve the bonding, or are you just connecting the 2 Fios connections, and they are just round robin(ing). I have tried round robin in the past, but it always acts funny..maybe it because of my cisco who knows. |

Sounds like BF69 is salty lol... Guess he can't just say that's awesome and wish you good luck. I wish I had the disposable income to do such a thing but alas I do not currently. I would download all the things. |
|

to houkouonchi
Shouldn't you be able to use PfSense and achieve the same results (or better) without using a vpn to bond the two connections? I used to do this with Cable and it worked great I could download at ~60Mbit/s even over http. |
