Curious how everyone’s using their upload speeds! Whether it's cloud backups, gaming, video calls, capn jack etc.
What Do You Use Your Upload Bandwidth for?

Leaving the YTS link seeding to everyone. Helping is CARING.
If internet is fast enough, why not just streaming? Of course I cannot share the links here :P
What is yts link btw?
For pirated movies
Thanks man! Weird that i never heard of them, i usually use PB etc
onlyfans 4k.
Haha dont u gotta pay for that
You’ve got it backwards. The data goes out and the money comes in. Bits out, bucks in.
Remotely accessing files on NAS
JV will be posting comments at an even faster rate.
fansly and sunroom
Upload uncompressed video for clients.
Mostly my plex server remote play
Sharing Legal Linux ISO's on Peer to Peer and nothing more

Uploading…
seeding back to the "community"
Cloud backup and cloud storage.
Sending @Jimothy Wongingtons a live feed of my feet and arm pits in 4K
Sigh
unzips
Seeding and Plex streams
I personally don't … Even though I run multiple VPS servers.
Was this a "loaded question" to begin with ???
- I work from home on multi-gigabyte datasets daily, so it's great there.
- Remote access to my NAS for backups/downloads.
- Ripped all my music and use Plexamp exclusively for music.
- Host a few game servers.
- Will often do Steam Remote Play Together with friends.
Steam remote play sounds very useful
I don't actually use Remote Play itself, just Remote Play Together which allows you to play "couch co-op" local multiplayer games over the internet. Everyone just gets a stream of your game and has their controllers sent to your PC.
Uploads to YouTube, and photo and video backup to Google Photos (via an old first generation Pixel phone for unlimited storage).
Didn't we do this question a few weeks ago?
Self-hosting. Immich. Navidrome / koel. Jellyfin.
Remote access.The list could go on.
Very useful for anyone who'd rather keep their stuff theirs, rather than pay subscriptions to store their stuff on some else's computers (aka storing it in the cloud or streaming platforms).
50Mbps upload speeds was barely OK, at 100Mbps it's better. What I would really like is symmetrical 2Gbps/2Gbps at a price that is in the $150 ~$200/month range. (Gemini tells me that in the UK you can get Virgin 2Gb/2Gb fibre for £76/month)
Truly a shame we don't have symmetrical plans (looking at you, Google Fiber).
Imagine if the NBN would actually unlock upload gigabit upload speeds. I'm still not sure why they can't, I suspect it's because they don't want to, possibly for financial reasons.
I don't see financial reasons as a factor. They'd be able to charge more money for symmetric plans, which means more $$/month. It may be limited to FTTP only, perhaps with a possibility to do better over HFC, without having to upgrade to a newer version of DOCSIS. Those poor souls stuck on connections that use copper for the last leg? Well, they are out of luck! I bet Turnbull is a swear word in those households.
NBN is running DOCSIS 4.0, should be able to get 10 Gbit/s down and 6 Gbit/s up.
