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.
Ive notice they not meter the Xfinity Free wifi SSID that their rented modem provides. The one where you login with your xfinity account “on-the-go”. Its intended for when you are away from home. But I know someone who used it to bypass the metering.

That’s not bad, I bought my modem and router, so it doesn’t put out their sideload network but I could use my access to that. Thanks.
