What percent of torrent users have open ports and are connectable? What would the speed difference be? (lemmy.zip)

So until now I always had closed ports because my ISP put me behind a CGNAT and can't open ports (No I don't need a vpn because no one cares in my country) Over time I just accepted that I cannot open ports but recently saw that if I tell them they will take me out of the CGNAT and be connectable, now I'm waiting for that.

Do you know what speed can you have before and after you open ports and more importantly what percent of peers have their ports open?

They also have port forwarding without static IP, but you have to renew the port every 7 days. Which is what I use, I don't mind changing port once a week.

I remembered they had port forwarding on regular plans but I didn't want to give any wrong info, and couldn't look it up to confirm at the time.

That's good to hear, the nice thing about that is their free plans (free 10gb, free 50gb) should be able to utilize that as well which is pretty nice.

I'm on T-Mobile Home Internet which is inherently double natted, no way around it. For most gaming it doesn't matter, but it's a pain in the ass for anything related to personal servers, or homebrew projects like Slippi (Smash Bros Melee online). So, with a free plan one could potentially get away with not even having to pay for a monthly fee, there's a lot of uses for port forwarding that use next to no data
