Any IPS that would send me such email would promptly receive a phone call to disconnect the service. Data caps are just about the worst thing ISP can do to its customers. I would look for another provider immediately, and have them put no data caps in writing.
Btw, 1TB is nothing, I can blow through that in little over 3 hours, half that if I upload stuff too.Yeah, internet / cable is a complete and absurd monopoly in the U.S. I doubt he has any other realistic choice on what internet he gets. I'm sure anything would be a down grade until something better comes along like google fiber.

Upstate NY, I have 3 ISPs I can choose from that I know of. There are more I'm sure.
How far upstate? We have two to choose from where I am, one is Spectrum the other is low speed DSL.
80 miles north of NYC. 30k town.
Kingston, Poughkeepsi area? That's still fairly downstate. Still a very populous area.

Poughkeepsie. If you exclude rednecks - most probably don't even have computers, not much of a population remains.

Really? That doesn't match with the Kingston and Poughkeepsie I know. I don't live there (another 80-100 miles northwest) but it's at the far edge of commuter rail into the city. Sure it's not as dense as Orange or Westchester county but they still experience some of the benefits of the city.
Come up my way a bit to see rednecks and real rural living.

Yeah, Metro North's last stop. Cooperstown area?

I also have Crashplan to reseed. So I should make sure I get it all in this month.
I'd love to keep using Crashplan but their upload speeds are abysmal!

Yep, a very small town a bit south of there.

What are you doing that uploads speeds from the CrashPlan side are a constraint?

Backing up photos, music and home movies. About 4TB. Best up speed I can get is around 10Mbps.

4TB total, but what kind of change rate? I never have any problem with a 10MB uplink.

I just write that off as taking forever no matter what. Most residential in the US does not even have a 10mbps upload pipe. So this does not really even matter.

It will, but at 4TB, nothing will be fast.

I was going to include my full movie collection but that would have brought it up to 28TB. At 10Mbps it estimated a little over a year for that seed. Lol

What about an Amazon Snowball?

What about an Amazon Snowball?
That would cost me $118 in storage fees per month on Glacier. Hard to beat the same price for a full year for the whole family with Crashplan.

There's another one too... also snow related. I forget what it's called though... It's a whole 18-wheeler truck you can load up with data, lol. Imagine how much data you could fit on that!
