Ask HN: What to do with gigabit internet?

2 pointsby markwaldronabout 8 years ago
I recently upgraded to Verizon's gigabit internet (I'm getting 900/930 on average, but close enough). What are some cool things to do with this level of speed?

Some things I do:<p>I built a tiny pc (Gigabyte BRIX) and use it as a linux server&#x2F;host. I use CloudFlare as CDN (with their client certificate HTTPS) so my IP address isn&#x27;t so obvious.<p>I use it between houses with a VPN and use an HDHomeRun to move ATSC streams (~20mbit each) to places that don&#x27;t get good OTA reception.<p>I download games when I want to play them and delete them when I&#x27;m done. Rinse and repeat.<p>Windows&#x2F;Mac&#x2F;iOS&#x2F;Android updates are really fast.
