I don't see why it matters though? You're not gonna be playing the game on your phone with limited data
Buddy, today you're going to learn about data caps.
I reckon it's been a good ten years since I had a data cap on my home internet. These days I pay £30 a month for unlimited 900mbps fibre and it's wonderful.
this isnt a thing on most countries on earth for "landline" internet.
monopolies in capitalism are brutal, and you guys shouldnt be allowing it.
I agree with you. They've even become a level of corporate governance with the whole copyright issue.
They still a thing? Not sure they're that common in the UK at least 🤷🏻♂️
Thank your regulators then. There are very much still a thing. Not because they need to be. But because they allow ISPs to make more money by setting arbitrary limits.
My Starlink plan is 50gb per month!
Because my ISP charges $50/mo extra for the "privilege" of having unlimited data.
My biggest pet peeve is that they sell you a service, at a certain speed, that you can only use for like 50 hours a month…
Mine too.
That's insane!
That's more than I pay for unlimited gigabit here wtf 😭
'Land of the free', init.
I love where I live, but my biggest miss on moving was leaving my fiber network behind and moving to Cox monopoly territory.
I'm in the same boat. Their only competition where I am is DSL, other than 5G/satellite.
