    They started to enforce the multi home rule on my account, so I cancelled my subscription. I think I had the account over 10 years. I was barely using my account anymore, so I don’t miss it that much.

      Same here. I feel bad for my family who was using my account (and has less disposable income) but they have access to our Plex now so win/win.

          Depends. For example a large ISP will have generous up/down speeds within the same city for customers on its own infrastructure so maybe that helps. You can of course transcode to less quality.

            Yea sadly I have fiber at 100down and 10 up. And from what I can tell, I need faster upload to stream anything to anyone. And yes, this is the best option available.

              That can’t be considered fibre than can it? Fibre is generally 1gup/down atleast in my city.

                I saw the actual fiber spools they rolled out. It’s a fiberoptic cable. I just live out in the country and the other option is LTE4. The DSL company basically quit selling it, and it was slower than LTE4.
