Just curious. How do you burn through 300 GB in a week? I think an hour of Netflix programming ~= 1GB, so 24x7 use of Netflix would be about 100 GB in a week. What's a bigger bandwidth hog than that?
This is actually an important question I would have asked myself yesterday.
Today, however, I have been trying to find a way to build an image for some android development kit. Every try for every different version pulls 60GB off some branch of codeaurora.org. Most likely something could be improved, but as of now that is how it goes.
In any case, while it seems insane, the faster the devices we work with, the 10x more insane the data we collect and need to move. Compressed video is ridiculously small compared to the TBs I have to deal with all the time. Waiting for these transfers are costing, especially when you know they would zip through in many other parts of the world.
It is very frustrating to wait for data when there is a fire to fight.
And I am sure ISPs have loads of b/w available. A few months ago, my connection was switched to 100Mbps, and it was that fast all the time. My provider must have realized its mistake and I am now back to 30... giving me back time to waste on
Not good. I mean I like this site, but I would rather be productive. And yes, after hours, I work from home, like I am sure many of us.
Firefox on Android is now very good, no more need to use anything else.

Chrome is the only browser I found on Android which was able to use them

On Android, you can use the AdAway application from F-Droid.org unrooted. It uses a proxy and work pretty well.
From both the app website (http://sufficientlysecure.org/index.php/adaway/) and F-Droid (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Ff-droid.org%2Frepository%2Fbrowse%2F%3Ffdid%3Dorg.adaway), this statement seems incorrect.

That is what they promised, and why I signed up for Hotmail. It was free, it was great, it was _independent_.
It was 1995. I knew I would physically move within the global village, and I needed a permanent address. Microsoft very quickly bought this successful idea, crippled it but did not, to its credit and my surprise, completely kill it. My addresses are still valid, I still use them, and among the international spam, I can still receive messages from my friends.
Comcast offers a miserable storage space for a maximum fee and arbitrarily bounces emails when they do not come from the same zip code. Notifiying the recipient is obviously beyond their ability. That is true, they could do even worse and drop the messages altogether and never notify the sender either.
That being said. It did hurt me hard when Hotmail was acquired by the Evil Empire. MSN is as much as I can take today. If I have to see Microsoft in full letters, I'll puke my last ties with it and a long gone global, free internet. I'll just set some email server at home.
Without the OSS move, internet would have been a very sad story. I knew from the start that corporations would very quickly try to clog and profit from the communication pipes. Thanks to free OSes, nobody but old farts or young idiots has to use hot or g or rocket or whatever mail.
RIP Hotmail, and big thanks to the original creators.
