Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn’t? I understand bandwidth limits, but how can home internet get away with giving users all the data they can use, but cell phone providers can’t?

    I remember Comcast suddenly started enforcing a limit of about 1 TB some years ago when I had them. Realized it happened when I renewed my contract to get a lower price again for a promotional period. Apparently I agreed to a new contract or something that included the new limit. >:|

      FCC is looking into that, I think it was during Trump’s administration

        I currently have that cap and wondering how I will be able to play MSFS2024 under these conditions. Absolute trash they get to enforce this.

          Had the same thought, and a rep already told me I’m 200gb away. Let’s hope some of the stuff is cached.

          Just try to pnpy so flights at 30k ft or above so you don’t have to load ground textures lol
