15:09 🔗 Smiley " Traffic is really unlimited, but within certain limits.
15:09 🔗 Smiley Using the bandwidth for your own personal or business needs is of course no problem and is, for all intends and purposes, practically unlimited. We don't charge for traffic nor is there a hard limit on how much traffic you are allowed to do. "
15:09 🔗 Smiley So no torrents is what they said, and don't mirror stuff (like properly mirror stuff, not just grabbing it once off like we do)
15:09 🔗 Smiley I'm tempted to try them out. Seems cheap
15:11 🔗 Smiley £5.55/mo for a 20gig simple machine
15:12 🔗 Smiley then again i can prob rent a seedbox somewhere for simular... :/

15:27 🔗 Smiley just don't want to buy and then have ZOMG WHAT YOU DOING D:
15:31 🔗 midas Smiley: as long as it's legal, anything is OK
15:32 🔗 midas they are not happy if you do more than 300TB/month
15:32 🔗 Smiley well, you can'd do linux distro torrents :D
15:32 🔗 midas for the rest you're golden
15:32 🔗 Smiley LOL I wish.
15:32 🔗 midas as long as it's legal-ish ;)
17:19 🔗 joepie91_ <Smiley>" Traffic is really unlimited, but within certain limits.
17:19 🔗 joepie91_ um, k

18:18 🔗 midas k, now i just need to upload http://wipkip.nikhef.nl/events/eth-0/ to archive and let jason move it :p
18:38 🔗 Smiley joepie91_: the types of traffic are limited
19:43 🔗 ersi It's utterly stupid to say that something that is limited is unlimited
19:48 🔗 Baljem ah, but is that limited or unlimited stupidity?
19:49 🔗 ersi unlimited
19:50 🔗 yipdw I want a Firefox extension that starts playing Scarface every time it sees the word "limit"
19:50 🔗 Baljem excellent. if only we could find a way to tap the world's reserves of stupidity, we'd solve the ol' energy crisis forever
19:55 🔗 midas well joepie91_, they asked one guy to cap it a bit, but he was doing 300TB/month.
19:56 🔗 midas and for torrents, he told me they prefer no takedown requests, but hey, if you want to abuse the service do what you want.
19:56 🔗 midas it's not my company so i really dont care :p
19:56 🔗 * Baljem eyes his freshly-expanded 200GB/mo cap and sighs
19:57 🔗 * midas has a 32TB/mo cap :<
19:57 🔗 Baljem or are we talking hosting rather than connections? ironically, this server bounced earlier so I missed a pile of backlog :(
19:57 🔗 midas no, just a VM host ;)
19:57 🔗 Baljem aha
19:58 🔗 midas tilaa.com
19:58 🔗 yipdw archivebot's service node has a 3TB/month cap
19:58 🔗 yipdw which I guess is not the worst of the bunch so far
19:58 🔗 Baljem mind you, I'm pretty sure my two colo boxes (which are VM hosts) has either 3 or 5 TB/mo cap, so, yeah...
19:58 🔗 RedType cell phone caps
19:58 🔗 RedType "unlimited data"
19:59 🔗 yipdw unlimited data sounds like
19:59 🔗 yipdw POWER OVERWHELMING
19:59 🔗 midas My cap is that it's limited to 100Mbit, which im fine with
19:59 🔗 yipdw AT&T MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS
19:59 🔗 yipdw (actually they really should)
19:59 🔗 midas or switch to 800mhz 4g
19:59 🔗 midas :p
20:00 🔗 midas 4g/lte
20:14 🔗 RedType i actually have unlimited data
20:15 🔗 RedType when i was getting a new phone 1.5 years ago i basically had a fight with them since they were willing to give me unlimited data but no texts in an attempt to force me off without explicitly saying "we dont want you to have that"
20:15 🔗 RedType i use google voice now
21:20 🔗 balrog RedType: what provider?
21:24 🔗 RedType balrog: att
21:26 🔗 balrog let me guess, you're on a limited-sms plan?
23:35 🔗 RedType balrog: well 200 now before they start billing me
23:35 🔗 balrog RedType: see that's what I have
23:35 🔗 RedType i only use it for stuff where it doesnt work with GV
23:35 🔗 balrog I always upgraded online and they never tried to screw me over
23:36 🔗 balrog last upgrade was nov 2012 though
23:36 🔗 RedType yeah they're really turning up the douchebaggery over there
23:36 🔗 RedType i might be on tmobile come june
23:36 🔗 balrog :/
23:37 🔗 balrog I've considered switching but at&t has better coverage and t-mobile just jacked their rates $10
23:38 🔗 balrog (like, today they announced they're jacking them in a week or two)
