In a third world country that doesn't care much about individuals torrenting. All 4 ISP we have block Torrent sites but that is easily solved be changing DNS. However, the problem is that we have qouta in here. One gigabyte (home dsl) costs 1.5 pounds, 1 gigabyte on mobile data costs 50 pounds = 1$. You can see the different bundles that two famous ISPs provide which is basically the same in links below: https://eshop.vodafone.com.eg/en/internetServices/dsl/dsl-bundles

Quotas for DSL connections are torture.

Yeah, I typically consume 300GB per month because I can't afford more. It hurts

What about streaming? Does nobody use streaming for sports and live tv in your country? Watching 5-6 football matches in UHD would eat through that allowance alone each month at my place.

For football, people use special reciver, they put it on the dish and it doesn't consume much internet only needed for starting connection, I didn't use it myself. For movies and series we torrent and share via localsend for example. I might only download one season per month, but I get other stuff from friends. We share what we download even games.

I couldn't live like that o.O last month's download alone was 500GB.

With me using my desktop remotely all the time and all the other self hosted stuff I've exceeded 2TB of upload...
