In North America, using Xfinity for reference. I want to create both a home NAS and offline Wiki/media backup. Problem is to get the amount of data I need would blow through my plan and throttle my speed. I guess I could try and do it over a longer period or download just before the billing cycle renews so even if I go over it will reset. I would rather avoid these scenarios, the only other thing I can think of is using a cafe or library connection, that might be what I have to do. Any ideas on places to download massive amounts of data or ways to get around throttling? Thanks in advance.
You got downvoted, but some researchers discovered this works on some cellphone networks. They only look at what the site calls itself and not what the site actually is.
not just researchers, i used this all the time back when data was much more costly and i had only 3 gigs a month, but they patched it after a couple years
basically when i was out of data a page from the isp’s website would pop up saying “Buy more data”, and that’s all i needed to spoof
