50MB/s is like 0.4Gbit/s. Idk where you are, but in Switzerland you can get a symmetric 10Gbit/s fiber link for like 40 bucks a month as a residential customer. Considering 100Gbit/s and even 400Gbit/s links are already widely deployed in datacenter environments, 300MB/s (or 2.4Gbit/s) could easily be handled even by a single machine (especially since the workload basically consists of serving static files).
Yeah, I know, I am in the process of leaving where I am now (eu citizen) and its between uk, germany and the netherlands. The reason I didnt look seriously at swiss, is because of all the stories I heard about people never integrating, despite efforts.
I’m looking for my forever place, that means balls deep in every aspect.
I live in NL myself, even though we have complaints (high taxes, delayed trains) I don’t think they’re nearly as serious as I hear from other countries (like US trans people getting declined public services, people living in fear of being deported or killed)
Although we don’t really have affordable housing, I would say that’s a fairly big issue.
The PPP in Germany tends to be a bit better (slightly lower wages, but even lower grocery prices and rent prices), and overall it seems people follow rules and order a good deal better.
Overall, both are good countries to live in IMO.
I can’t speak for the UK, though.
Why did you have to say you want to be balls deep in the UK, Netherlands or Germany though…?
Maybe I chose the words badly. I meant that want to live in a civilized place, i have been an expat for 10 years and I just want to put down roots with my wife. So far we have been moving with the jobs and I had enough. Thats what I meant with my colourful language.
Yeah, thats almost 150% more than my (theoretical) bandwidth at home (Gbps but I live alone & just don’t want to pay much), and that is just assuming constant workload (peaks must be massive).
This is indeed considerate, yet hopefully solvable. It certainly is from the link perspective.
You’re completely missing what he’s saying, and how that number is calculated. It’s an average connection speed over time and you’re anecdotally saying your internet is superior because you have a higher connection speed, which isn’t really true at all.
You have residential internet which is able to provide 3Gbps intermittently. You may even be able to sustain those speeds for several days at a time. But servers maintain those connections for months and years at a time…
800TB/mo is 2.469 Gb/s sustained for 30 days. They may be on a 10Gb/s connection, but that doesn’t mean they have enough demand to saturate it 100% of the time.
That averages out to around 300 megabytes per second. No way anyone has that at home comercially.
One of the best comercial fiber connections i ever saw will provide 50 megabytes per second upload, best effort that is.
No way in hell you can satisfy that bandwidth requirement at home. Lets not mention that they need 3 nodes with such bw.

So I have to move to Swiss then, got it.
That, and safe streets, kind people, clean air, clean water, gorgeous mountains, war safety, high PPP, I could go on…

I can recommend Germany and Netherlands!

I think anywhere outside the US or Australia will do.

I have 3 Gbps home Internet ( up and down ). I get over 300 Megabytes per second.
Can they not torrent a bunch of that bandwidth?

Probably not one person, but that could be distributed.
Like folding at home :D
