Seen the articles but not personally effected.
This can't be legal.

I thought they only did the data caps where there was no other competition, so I never expected them to introduce this shit in my area.

HAHAHAAHAHAHA
It never fails to make me laugh.

>>56972393
I hope no one will actually fall for this, but someone probably will.

>>56972424
Yup, they finally got to my region.

I thought I was safe from the data caps bullshit.

>>56972364
This happened to me with AT&T but with a 600gb limit. I was never notified. They increased the limit to 1tb later as a show of good faith :^)

I watch netflix all day long and torrent a bunch of shit, I have a hard time exceeding 600 gb

that being said this is patently evil and is only possible due to obviously illegal collusion and anti-competitive agreements between providers that ought to merit jail terms

>>56972818
Then you are watching things at absolutely shit quality. I've used 1.1TB the past 30 days and didn't torrent that much.

DELET THIS

>How the fuck is this still acceptable in a year 2^11-32?
It isn't. This exists only in third world countries.

>>56974162
Third world country here. I can confirm it only exists in absolute shitholes, not in third world countries.

I have no idea how much data I use on average.
I had AT&T DSL for the last 20 years, and they didn't have data caps in place.

But I just moved to their U-Verse, which has data caps, so I guess we'll find out.

>>56974162
>>56974227
Another third world country here, we have no caps (but we don't have bandwith over 200mbps, either so...)

>>56972364
>tfw Canada
>data capped to 300GB/month

How can you measure data transfer speeds in Kelvin-Bytes?

At least I only get 3ms ping to muh gaymen servers though

>>56974599
Weird. My ATT DSL had a 150gb cap that was enforced. Their U-verse plan has an unenforced 250gb cap in my area

>>56972364

it takes me ~13ms to ping my ISP gateway

You should reply and correct them because 1 TB is 1000 GB.

>we don't have bandwith over 200mbps, either so

25 MB/s is more than what anyone could need. Literally nobody needs more than even 5 MB/s.

>>56972364
I think its great. The greedy fucks have to pay their fair share.

Comcast is anticipating 4k movies hitting torrents in a very near future. They're like 30GB each.

Also increase in 4k Netflix, NFL streaming.

This will make a ton of people pay the extra $200

What the fuck? I download 1080p and they're like 50 GB each. Are you a shitwatcher that downloads YIFI rips and that kind of garbage?

Yes, and so do 99% of their customers who are below 1TB/mo right now

I'd rather not have internet than let a ISP cuck my data. Try that shit with me and I'll seed yify torrents until my router blows and never pay my bill.

why are people complaining about this again? 1tb per month is really generous for pretty much everyone other than data hoarders...

>>56976558
If your bdrip is 50gb then that means it isn't compressed at all. A good bdrip should be like 10-20gb.

>>56976736
bluray videos are compressed, he's referring to remuxes

I have 250GB data cap for $60/month.

>Be Australian
>Be on 1GB Internet plan
>tfw Telstra charge $1 per GB excess

>>56972393
What? This is an upgrade from 300 GB to 1 TB, not a downgrade from unlimited to 1 TB.

>>56976645
Oh maybe I should thank the Comcast gods for blessing me with this generous off.

No, fuck off. That's not what I fucking signed up for.

>>56976381
Technically it's kB and kb

>>56976381

Many Australian advertisements use "KB" and clearly mean kilobit/sec, regardless of what autists would prefer.

>>56972748
Current att uverse customer here and I get unlimited data for free for having directv also. Feels breddy gud

>>56976459

>Literally nobody needs more than even 5 MB/s.

Ok big guy, go ahead and live on that.

We're waiting.

The fuck? I have to pay 200 if i go over?

>>56976891
>being correct is autistic

No, fuck you.

I used 1.5 TB in the last 5 days.

I guess I'm paying an extra $50/month, soon.

They're giving me 250 Mbps down and 25 up for $50/month, already, though. Guess I shouldn't complain that I'll be paying $100/month, when that speed usually costs $150/month.

Eh. It's not really that much money, just shitty that this country has so much corruption and extortion.

>>56972364
this is mobile data right ?

>>56977170
Nope. Home customers.

>>56976967

I actually live on 2.2MB/s.
