Bandwidth Issues

ThePurebreadMoneyMaker64 » Tue Jan 10, 2017 8:57 pm

So after a week of running 4 phones (3 running Checkpoints-1 running Rewardable TV) around the clock it is clear that our bandwidth cap at the end of the month is going to be a problem. We used 25% of the 800 GB cap which we should be fine at the rate we are going but adding phones will be a problem. So the only solution I can think of is switching to active apps instead of running passive apps. What are some active apps? Also, do any active apps allow you to run multiple phones without being banned. Thanks and have fun making money!

Your options will be limited to things like apps that pay you to download other apps and surveys. Most video apps/websites are $.25 to $1 per phone.

Would it be possible for you to upgrade your internet to unlimited? With my current ISP in some states, you can get unlimited for another $50 a month. Annoying yes, but no issue compared to the money you would be losing without it.

Our provider doesn't have a tier with no cap, the highest tier is 1000 GB cap combined upload and download.
There is another provider which we had before that had no cap but with terrible stability. It cut out for us a bunch of times sometimes being hours until it came back. We had 6Mb down so not sure if it would even be good enough to even run the phones.

I see. What provider?
What is the cost of going over? Do you actually still make out when you go over?

I haven't looked into too much with data caps yet. I would like to see if I can figure any solutions out for everyone with this issue.

The provider we have currently with the data cap is Blue Ridge. I did a little reading and found that if the cap is surpassed they give an additional 50 GB for a $10 fee. I don't think they give you an extra 50 GB if the previous 50 GB was already used. We use about 20 GB a day with 4 phones. With assumption on how much we made so far, I don't think that will allow for us to profit from surpassing the cap. The only idea I had was hooking up a business line instead. Though I believe there is some guidelines to get one setup.
