      Even just consumer "needs" get really big, really quickly.

      Netflix uses 5 per second for 1080P though, if all 4 family members are watching 4K content at the same time that's a bit excessive. Steam, again they tend to content throttle you, most I've seen is 1 or 2 per second. Are the needs that great?

      You've only seen 1 or 2 per second? I can download from Steam to saturate my 50Mb/s connection.

        I'm on a 40 down connection and only get 1 or 2, time of day does not affect it. Maybe that's just in the UK though.

          Yes, I have to self limit Steam to not interrupt other things in my house. I am in a very rural part of NY too.

            Why is that excessive? We pay for the service, why would it be excessive to use it?

              it took me over 30 days of continuously managing 20Mb/s connections to be able to download our Steam library partially while in the US last time. Steam will use more than I can get access to in Texas. And I need it as single game downloads can take a couple of days. Getting our library downloaded takes a super long time.

              I have no idea how fast Steam will go, as fast as I can give it access to is all that I know. 20Mb/s at least for one download at a time.

                I get 19-25mb/s on Steam

                    There are regions with great Internet, and regions with nothing. Texas is very hot and cold as far as Internet access. My house in Dallas can get 100Mb/s, the condo in Houston struggles to get 5Mb/s. My brother in laws place across town gets 300Mb/s.

                        I'm still waiting for my local service provider to build into my neighborhood, it's been like 8 months since they've started to accept orders, before they actually start.

                            Let me know when you finish that data center in your basement. I might rent some space from you, lol.

                                It's not business use. I'm just a friend helping to offset his internet costs. 🙂

                                  As well as power and cooling costs. In fact I would be willing to offset some hardware and management costs as well.

                                    I can get gigabit at my house in the middle of no where. Right now I'm just on the 150Meg plan though (software limited, it can be bumped up to a gigabit with a simple call).

                                      Lucky. What is the cost of that?

                                        150meg is $60, gigabit is $120. 2gig is $300. I don't think my CPE will handle 2 gig though.
