Ask HN: How do you circumvent low upload bandwidth limits in the US?
3 by dwrodri | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I'm trying to build a bit of a homelab at my apartment in the US (East Coast), but there just aren't any ISPs which offer good upload bandwidth in my area. I find myself often wanting to move around 5-250GB of data, and I'm looking for a way to do that quickly. I can think of two approaches: 1) Rent a cloud instance, and use their high bandwidth connection. 2) Rent a bare metal server, and use their high bandwidth connection. What service would you recommend for solving this problem? My two main use cases would be: 1) Download files quickly to the server. 2) Send files quickly from this server to another device. The cloud computing is full of so many different services that I'm having a hard time even comparing a cheap linux server to something offered by a cloud provider. Does anyone have any recommendations?
