HACKER Q&A

Does your ISP throttle your Internet after downloading big LLM models?


Using Xfinity Comcast. After downloading almost 1TB and uploading around 800GB of data, I feel like the internet has gotten slower than before, with hiccups every now and then.

Have you experienced the same thing?

A lot of Comcast plans have overage charges after 1.2TB.

I believe they wave the charges the first month you go over.

Yeah, ISPs don't like massive uploading in particular.

Cmon man you're on HN, you should know to take measurements vs relying on feelings. You know around the speed that you pay for.
