I recently got this 200mb symmetric connection and I was wondering what could be the best uses for it. Any advice?
PS: I'm in Spain and this connection is costing me about 40€ with free phone calls.

#6That is a good question.. I got 300 Mbps connection for 20€ [Lithuania]. The most expensive connection is ~30€ for this price you get whole 1Gbit connection.
The best way to use it - set-up your personal cloud. Or create a tor exit node / relay. Or host a linux repository mirror. Endless possibilities actually.
If using over WiFi the only downside is that in order to use all this speed you have to use ac capable router and of course - devices. I'd buy a router if I'd have devices which would utilise ac standard.
Although you can always use wired..
