JayBee 5 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The media box is pretty quiet, I don't hear it when it's running but then again i'm not an audio visual nut so i'm probably not as sensitive when it comes to such things. If I was going to setup a theatre room or similar I probably would stream but in my case it doesn't bother me. Link to post Share on other sites
vinylfreak 46 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Ah interesting, is hard drive noise not a problem? I've had my HTPC in our Family Room for the past almost 9 years now, Hard Drive noise has never been an issue. Sometimes you can hear fan noise if no media is being played back , but while playing back audio or movies its a non issue. Link to post Share on other sites

Pancakes 11 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Apparently AT&T have a 250GB Cap for my service, but I download over 1TB every single month and they have never complained As much as people hate them, they have been good to me Link to post Share on other sites
ikon 439 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Keep your neighbours happy. Most ISPs will leave you alone if no one in your neighbourhood complains about poor throughput. If someone does complain, watch out. That no longer works for me; Rogers started metering every account about 1 1/2 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites
Pancakes 11 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think Google Fiber got them scared too, there was a rumor that Houston would get Google Fiber after Austin did. It just so happens they upped the speed by 10mb/s for no cost that same week. Still no sign of Google fiber though Link to post Share on other sites
awraynor 98 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Recently visited my wife's father in Denver. He wants to go to a smaller place and wants us to buy his house. Saw he has ComCast and bandwidth limits, no thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Pancakes 11 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Recently visited my wife's father in Denver. He wants to go to a smaller place and wants us to buy his house. Saw he has ComCast and bandwidth limits, no thanks. I would actually choose to buy a house based on ISP options too, its that important Edited August 22, 2013 by Pancakes Link to post Share on other sites
