minus-squarebizarrolandlinkfedilink10•1 month agoSeriously. What is the point of a 1 TB data cap when you are paying for 600 Mbps internet? You can burn through that terabyte in a matter of days and then be on the hook for dozens if not hundreds of dollars of overage charges. It’s not like it costs them more than a couple of pennies for that much data usage. But the bigger thing is, we need the internet to be directly controlled and subsidized by the government. There are too many fingers in the pie.
minus-square@Cortlink5•1 month agoLol with a gigabit connection you can hit your one terabyte cap in under 3 hours at max speed. In the days of work from home and 200GB call of duty updates caps are just a cash grab.
