How to quickly spend 1 GB of traffic

Now, some US Internet providers are going to introduce tariffing on traffic on the tariff plans of broadband access. In particular, the provider Time Warner Cable introduces a $ 15 monthly plan with a limit of 1 GB and an additional payment of $ 2 for each gigabyte above that. Wired magazine decided to demonstrate how this is a small limit. They announced a contest among their readers for the fastest way to spend the monthly traffic limit, that is, one gigabyte.

One gigabyte is just a ridiculous limit for broadband internet. In fact, it can be spent literally in half a day even at the lowest-rate Time Warner fare at a speed of 786 Kbps.

Readers of Wired have already expressed unhappy users of plans with rating several offers, including organizing the distribution of torrents on their PC, Tor server, running Windows Update, raising a web server, removing the password from a Wi-Fi home access point, or doing it all at the same time . It is terrible to imagine what a monthly bill will come to brave people who have decided to test these harmful tips in practice.
