Between the two choices, I would choose four relays with no limits, but if I had full administrative control, I would start with one relay without limits and see how my internal network performs over time. If there is no noticeable drop in performance, I would continue adding one relay at a time, then stop when the performance noticeably degrades.

Hello all,

I have been operating 8 middle relays for several months and due to my internet service limitations I have to make some changes. I have cox panorama service in the USA and for the most part it works well. My dilemma is with all of my VMs running and relays etc it tends to overload my connection. This causes my household streaming to drop off and my fam is not happy with me.

The question I have for you is the following. Which is preferable; four middle relays running with no limits or eight middle relays with speed limits? I am asking which would be better for the network?

I'll await your answers

Thanks for the input
