OK
last month I went over my bandwidth limit.
My Bandwidth limit is pretty high 1.2 TiB each month… That sounds like a
lot. But with everyone home these days
and folks watching more and more videos it all adds up.
I
know for myself many podcasts I used to listen to I know watch on YouTube which
greatly increases how many Bytes I download.
So
I have two options use less bandwidth or pay for unlimited. Truth be told I will eventually pay for
unlimited because I do see over time my usage just going up and up and up. More videos, more games, more music, … just
more. But I want to push off the
inevitable a few more months.
So
how can I do this? Well try and go after
my worst bandwidth offenders, Streaming Videos. Due to the pandemic we now have almost all
the major streaming services so I want to explore what the current GiB/hr they
usually run and how, if at all, I can reduce them.
