I’m from the Netherlands and remember when we first got internet over the television cable. It was already unlimited use. Well under FUP (fair use policy), meaning that you could get charged when you extremely exceeded the downloaded data average of all other users. I downloaded everything I could get my hand on and never got a charge for it.
Now I have 1gig fiber connection for €60, I would go crazy if I had data caps.
Many of the ISP’s in the states used to have unlimited caps. This whole data cap bullshit started 10 years ago or so. These same ISP’s will drop the datacap in areas where there is competition. Hate them.

1gig fiber, London, £25/mo
Same, but before it was available in my area I was stuck with “1gig” cable that was really like .75gig because they only guarantee “up to 1gig” and 700mb is not over “1gig” therefor I’m getting what I paid for (Had this actual conversation with a customer service rep when I requested they send a tech to find out why I NEVER get the advertised speeds and my modem was reporting thousands of errors in the data between it and my provider)… and cost me $120/month with a 1TB data cap, or $170/month for unlimited. Now that the DSL provider in my area ran fiber to my neighborhood, I switched to the unlimited 1gig fiber for $70/month with no hidden fees, rate locked for life, and told my old cable provider to go pound sand while sipping wine and rubbing my nipples.
