How to monetize a highspeed Internet connection?


Morning HN,

I'm getting fiber Internet installed next week. It offers 1gbps up + down with no caps for $60/m.

I saw an article about apps that pay about $0.20 per GB of bandwidth which makes the fiber connection worth (a hypothetical) $12/min.

Has anyone attempted monetizing their Internet connection for passive revenue with a similar method? If so, please share your story.

I haven't because it violates my EULA, and probably just about every other residential EULA.

(I am assuming you are talking about a residential fiber Internet link, due to your description.)

If you can find someone, or some company, foolish enough to pay $12/min for a commodity they can buy for the same price you did, or less, hats off to you.
