The original service agreement didn't have any caps whatsoever in the fine print. This is altering the signed agreement without prior consent. Why don't you have a problem with this?

>>61193991
5 hours a day streaming 4k from Netflix will add up to around 1 terabyte. Add to that general browsing, YouTube, Spotify, torrenting and it easily adds up to a lot.

>>61194081
1 terabyte per month*

They are free to change their terms at any time, that doesn't mean customers are forbidden to complain about or find services through another provider. Or is it in your world customers are slaves who must accept anything a company demands?

>>61194295
Actually to be truthful I work for Risebroadband. We are the largest wisp in the USA. We took all of our unlimited plans away. Although we have a mega fuck ton of congestion caused by streaming. We should not hook up new cx, but corporate wants new installs. If we don't get new installs we do not get our business loans or new investors. So unlike the fiber providers we absolutely have to be shady as fuck.

Nothing cox did was wrong. You signed the contract without reading, you used the data it is your fault 100%.

And going where exactly...? None of the other cable providers are any better. Every month I get fucked over by comcast just as much as you. And yeah okay, you have DSL, microwave, and satellite like you mentioned but the speeds are shit, not that cable in America is much better mind you but you really don't have a choice.

Cable is a monopoly. You have no other options, you have only the illusion of choice. And don't think you're gonna go complain to the government either because they're deep in Cox and Comcast's pockets. They will never listen to you.

>>61194392
Will companies ever amend a contract if you do your due diligence before you sign and point out parts you have objections to? Or will they just basically tell you to get fucked, you want our service you sign our contract as is?

Not to mention, Cox (and most ISPs) are overbuilt on purpose so that you can still browse your chinese wooden blocks during prime time. Your argument is in no way supported by the available bandwidth speeds of Cox, users of Netflix on Cox, or traffic transferred on Cox to other ISPs. All are on an upward trend, and have no sign of slowing down past a nuclear apocalypse.

So, while you're shilling for Cox, be sure to suck on some fat ones for OP. Thanks.

It is just matter of priorities. In the most capitalism sence you dont deserve to live if you cant afford health care. But then again, why do you even pay taxes if it gives you nothing in return? Fuck you dont even have paid maternity leave. And it is crucial for capitalism to birth new workers to replace the poor ones dying from cancer.

Don't get me wrong. I agree with you mostly. I think that a society should look after it's own and think this right-wing meme is just the folly of low IQ, basement dwelling retards.

However payed maternity leave? If ever there was a "bad" socialist program it's that one. Fuck.

>>61193991
Seeding a lot of torrents from home. If my isp suddenly introduced a data cap again (they won't) I'd blow through it in a week easily.

>>61199099
I think society does a fine job looking after each other without needing to pay government bureaucrats 40% of the money I "donate" to needy people.

Welfare sounds wonderful in practice, but the way its executed is just retarded. If a private charity can have 1% administrative costs, there is no reason for a government entity to have 40% administrative costs.

>$10 per 50GB of data
Holy fuck that's expensive, if you are easily breaking 1TB charging $10 per subsequent 50GB is very harsh indeed.

You Americans really get it rough out there, I'd be fucking livid if I had to limit my usage as I pay £50/m ($65) for 220Mb.

Is it lack of incentive from the government to improve infrastructure or lack of government regulation to stop anti-competitive practice? Maybe it's both?

>>61193919
>live in a country where data cap exist

>>61199156
Of course it's expensive. Meanwhile, I pay 45 bucks for 100mbit/sec connection with no bandwidth limitations. If I wanted to pay 114 per month, I could get Gbit connection without bandwidth limitation. Nothing like living in a town that doesn't believe in granting monopoly rights.

>>61199156
>Is it lack of incentive from the government to improve infrastructure or lack of government regulation to stop anti-competitive practice? Maybe it's both?

It is mostly regulatory capture where cable companies got the local government to pass rules and regulations that make laying cables expensive AFTER they had already laid theirs.

>>61199048
Well, there is a lot of wrong with current systems. Like voting each 4 years. That makes every politician to not give a fuck about what will happen in the next ~10 years because at that time he will be out of politics with a lot of money.

If you honestly believe that being born in country gives you 0 rights and only obligations to pay taxes and are happy with that, than congratularions, you have been brainwashed by school/media very well.

The gov is here for us, not the other way around. We made gov so the life is easier, safer with guaranteed boundaries everybody follows because it is advantage to do so.

Local government or federal?
Here in the UK the government has been subsidising fibre infrastructure massively for 10 years, now it's pretty rare to find a place that doesn't get a fibre connection when previously the defacto standard was running your internet connection through copper wiring installed before WW2.

I'm already seeing FTTP 1Gb in my city but it's restricted to flat blocks that are financially viable.

>>61199314
>Local government or federal?
Local, but the federal government doesn't really get involved because they aren't really considered "monopolies" since people have access satellite, DSL, and dial-up.

>I'm already seeing FTTP 1Gb in my city but it's restricted to flat blocks that are financially viable.

Friendly reminder that Net Neutrality would not fix this at all.
Net Neutrality is a bullshit idea designed to steer you away from the real problem - a complete lack of competition in the US broadband market due to the legality of city/county/state enforced monopolies on what should be a free and open market.

Consider that until very recently US didn't have NN, neither did Europe and that most of the world still doesn't have it - but has better access to broadband than US - this is because there is real competition between ISPs for your money.

Fight to kill the monopolies by federal law, that's the way out of the mess.
If we can score NN too, all the better - but it's not nearly as necessary as killing the enforced monopolies.
