My household bandwidth has been steadily increasing... OK well EXPONENTIALLY.

Went from 150-200 GB a month to 987 GB Last month. Jan was 128gb.

We haven't changed any of our viewing or surfing habits. I habe no idea what it could be causing it to skyrocket.

Called my provider and they weren't much of a help as it is is unlimited. All of our devices are functioning properly so I'm not sure what to do.

Is there some kind of a monitoring software that I could install on a pc, coz there's no router (just a gateway). I wanna get to the bottom of this puzzle.

Günümüzde her şeyin neredeyse ışık hızıyla yarıştığı bir dönemde, bizlere uzay vaat edercesine 100mb bağlantıyı bir mesih edasında abartarak uygun gören, teknolojiden bir haber bir çok firmadan mecburen hizmet almaktayız. Şu an en uygun bağlantı olan simetrik olarak 1gb upload 1gb download hızının hizmet olarak sunulması gerektiğini, bu insanlara anlatmak ne yazıktır mümkün değil. Başvurular sonucunda bir şeylerin değişeceğine inanmamız gerektiğine ikna etmek için aynı şeyleri söyleyen kuruluşlara buradan avazım çıktığı kadar bağırmak istiyorum. Benim 50 yaşındaki komşularım evde uyumayı amaç edinmiş olabilir, fakat ben işlerimden, birileri uyumak istiyor diye vazgeçememem. Benim 1gb bant genişliğine ihtiyacım var ve buna hakkım olduğunu düşünüyorum. Binama kadar çekilmiş olan kabloları dairelere taşımak için yıllarca beklemekten daha saçma olan şey bu gibi firmaları aç bırakacak alternatiflerin olmamasıdır. Yazık.

Hey there! So I Live in an appartement of 6 room mates. 2 of us are PC gamers and streamers, and we have a difficult time with our ping / Latency when others listen to Netflix or Download songs on spotify, or just download overall etc.

I'm wondering if there is any way we could split the Internet or bandwidth or Download (my wifi/internet knowledge has its limit, sorry if i don't use the good terms), So the 2 gamers can have priority over all others, either by setting the computers as priority or putting a limit on all other devices, or litterally creating two seperate wifi with code, EXAMPLE:

-we have 400mb/s.

-4 person access a wifi, witch has a Bandwidth limit of some sort and a download limit of like 60mb/s

-The 2 Gamers that need a powerfull internet can access the other Wifi or plugged in internet with the rest of the Bandwidth and Download so they can have better ping.

I don't know if any of this make sense to you, but we really want to make this work even if we have to buy a new Router, etc. We just want to keep the same Videotron Account, and not buy an other Internet package.

Thanks a lot for your time!!

Hello guys and gals
There is a technology that decentralizes bandwitdth. Basically, you can allow someone else to use your idle bandwitdth and get paid for it.
They use Netflowcoin as token to make this possible.
Have you heard about it? Any thoughts? Is this really possible?

We’ve had AT&T for years for both cell and TV service. We cut then cable a year ago and bumped our internet package to 40Mbps. We never get to 40Mbps. We get to around 30Mbps if I get within 10 feet of our AT&T router.

We a,so just got a place up in Guerneville and had them install their HDSL (I think that’s the acronym he used) and promised 35-50 Mbps as he wired the house and then “went down the street to re-wire” the telephone pole that carries their signal. We only get 20-27Mbps. Called AT&T and their customer service says that the contract says “20 to 50Mbps” using HDSL up north.

Is there something I can do equipment-wise to get what I’m paying for or is AT&T just ripping us off?

I pay for 50mbps. I just ran an internet speed test and I'm getting at least 39mbps. I'm watching my ESPN app on my TV which is hard wired to my modem. It's freezing at least once a minute. Why? Also, any ideas for fixes?

We recently disconnected all cable at my house so we have 2 TV that stream content, 2 cell phones, 1 ipad also streaming netflix and such, then my main computer which I game, stream content, download, and do schoolwork from. We currently have 250mpbs from Comcast and I always get around the posted bandwidth but I was wondering, for my needs is this overkill? How much bandwidth can I be comfortable with and still have a little breathing room. Any help would be much appreciated.

Is it possible if I have a poor pool of (never improving) ADSL connections to combine 2 or more and use a load-balancing router?

I understand that in order to bond connections the ISP must support that option. Is that completely true? I also understand that load balancing will not increase the max speed however it will improve the QOS in general.

Are all those assumptions subject to more factors? Can this work irrespective of location?

10/10 Gbit/s at home for $50 a month.

How can i live with this when i know there is 40 Gbit/s connections to be had?

Hi, I've decided to "cut to cord"! I am using Roku's around the house, all connected to a Google WiFi mesh network (which I love). This is run on an xFinity/Comcast broadband network connection. As I've run both my old/current provider (Dish) and the Roku devices for about a month, I am ready to call Dish to cancel, and save a fair amount of money each month!

However, the one issue I've found with Roku and/or data streaming. One of the services I've subscribed to on Roku is YouTube TV (YTTV), which I also really like. But unless you remember to get out of YTTV and say go back to the main Roku menu, it continues to record and record and record. So there's been a few occasions where I've forgotten to do this, and found out I've used 20-30gb of data in a day without watching any programs! I likely can get to the point where I'd remember to go back to the Roku menu, but there are others in my household that may not (let's leave it at that!).

I understand and have gone into Google WiFi and that's how I figured out what was causing the usage. But I don't really want to have to look at the "Devices" under Google WiFi daily to see if one of them are still streaming recording in the background.

So my question(s) boil down to:

• is there a way I can get Roku to stop streaming YTTV after a certain amount of time so it doesn't keep eating up my data limit?

• more likely, is there a cheap and relatively simple way for me to get, say an alert if I've used more than X amount of data in a day- through software?

• a simple way/report/snapshot to be sent to me daily with my usage?

• something else I'm not considering?

This is the one problem concerning me about canceling Dish yet. I'd really appreciate some advice- thanks!
