Netflix only updates between midnight and 6 am. There is about 4TB to move. Once the box is full, then it just does new content during the off hours. You do need about 1 Gbps for the traffic but you can probably handle that during the off hours.

You might find that your 1Gbps circuit can’t handle the updates.

Any way you can boost your usage temporarily until you qualify? From: TJ Trout Sent: Monday, March 16, 2015 2:46 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] Netflix open connect Has anyone successfully petitioned netflix to receive a server when you don't meet the 5gbps requirement ? We have a extension of our network where we are back hauling over a gig 50 miles away and I need to upgrade the radios once again, I know if I had this server It would drop our usage over the link by half... Wonder if you can pay for one ?
