Maybe that's why I had an unopened 3.1 modem in storage that I just donated. Actually I think I had two of them for some fucking reason. I ran that ancient modem forever and wouldn't switch to Google Fiber even after they came in the building because we loved our Tivos. But, datacaps got me finally.

I really don't understand how people survive with 1 TB datacaps in today's world. This is ONE DAY. It's all just Firefox from watching YouTube and Twitch. I didn't leave anything up 24 hours, the longest video was a 5-hour stream at 1080p. This isn't excessive usage. And that's just one person

Will the FCC put a limit on internet data caps?

Does Microsoft have their own ISP company? Because I don't see this ever working so long as Telecoms have no interest in upgrading the infrastructure, not to mention datacaps causing this to be more expensive for the user.

bwahaha even better, they just aren't diffing the patches, so each time you download a new one you're redownloading all the same assets. hey @wyp100 saw your story on @eurogamer, perhaps someone should reach out to Bethesda and ask them if they understand what datacaps are?

Right this is literally my only option and the only option for 100s of thousands in the US. The government broadband maps are industry produced and are totally false. We had no broadband before. Viasat and hughes are high latency, low bandwidth and low datacaps.

Hard caps cut off service or add fees after a data limit, while soft caps keep the connection but throttle speed; regulators in 2025 push broadband nutrition labels. Read more: https://getnews.me/understanding-internet-data-caps-and-finding-truly-unlimited-plans/ #datacaps #broadband #fiber

This is absurd. I worked in telecom for a decade, and I know first hand how much it gouged consumers on broadband in the 2010s when data caps were in place.
It costs fractions of a penny to provide a gigabyte of usage. They would charge $5-$10 in overage. It's G R E E D.

Comcast: only ISP who charges datacaps but not in NY/NJ/PA area decided to sneak in a provision during COVID to do that "we can't provide adequate data for what people subscribed to, so we need to reduce usage with data caps...."
Yes, they really tried and then called it off once word got out

Turns out Trump and the FCC want to make it so phone plans all have data caps.
This will encourage more use of free wifi and make people more vulnerable to hackers. But will I be one of those free wifi users? Yep!

so we could only use the tech if we paid for it, and then we got unlimited, and then they had to start charging for data transfer limits, but most internet is free to access if you're connected, and datacaps are hard to force on consumers, so these are kind of like datacaps to use the internet.
