What the actual fuck. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Speaking of data caps, what's the skinny on "unlimited high speed" mobile data plans?

I've already used over 82GB in the first week of metropcs service watching netflix and shit all day.

Is it okay if I use 200, 400, 2000 GB in a single month? Or is there a catch?

>>61567286
Generally after awhile they throttle you pretty hard.

>>61567244
>but can't buy a spoon without photo ID

swede here, pay like 50$ a month for 1Gbit connection which is of course uncapped.

I also have a 50Mbit connection included in rent from another provider which I use as failover in my juniper firewall if the main connection ever should lose connection. Also uncapped because why would it be limited?

>>61567355
because american companies are money grubbing whores

OP here.

I pay $90 a month for the middle tier of internet. Its called something fucktarded but its the middle of the three. $75, 90, and $110. All of these have 1TB limits. If you want unlimited its an additional $50 ontop of whatever plan you choose.

"unlimited high speed" my ass, hope these corporate cocksuckers are first in line at the day of the rope.

>>61567519
I thought I was but I guess I wasn't on this 4chan tab.

That would explain why it didn't pop up until I opened /g/. Didn't think about that.

>>61567552

Fuck comcast, or "xfinity" as they now wanna call it. You on the east coast op?

>>61567286
Yeah there is a catch, I used to work for metropcs and usually it throttles hard after 30gb but you can bypass that resetting APNs, switching to T-Mobile APN or calling customer service

Yeah, After breaking 1tb a few times I had to pay the stupid 50$ unlimited fee. Fucking annoying since I used to have unlimited for free until they rolled out those changes statewide.

>>61567519
It even hijacks things like Steam's browser and my phones browser. It puts that message on every page it can.

>>61567552
You have to be retarded not to use https everywhere.

I also have the cap but I only do 800GB living by myself.

>>61567546
Once you hit the 90th percentile for data usage, or whatever it is for the specific company, they either throttle your data speed or put you at the end of the line when a tower becomes congested, again depending on the company.

If you live in a pretty low pop density area then they're pretty alright, but if you go anywhere that's nearly congested you're gonna be throttled to hell, I use about ~300GB a month and don't notice any throttling at home

Urgayan here. I pay 20 burgerbucks a month for these speeds. It's uncapped, although after 300GB or so they reserve the right to throttle me, which they've never actually done.

Less than 10€ for pic related.

Source: rcs-rds.ro/internet-digi-net/fiberlink?t=internet-fix&pachet=digi_net_fiberlink_1000

I only had a data cap on my mobile plan few years ago, now they've changed it to unlimited 4G and it costs 3€.

>>61570290
They don't though. Cumcast is really the only major ISP enforcing caps. I have Frontier and get 100/100 with no caps for $70 per month. They've just launched 150/150 and soon will be launching symmetric gigabit service. I only have two choices where I live, and I think I'm getting a pretty good deal, though I always welcome competition.

>>61570335
Funny that.
I just went onto my personal providers website and they offer the very same thing for 30$ a month.
Less than half the price mate.
Less than half.

>>61567616
Are you just pretending to be stupid? Net neutrality is irrelevant when it comes to these generalized caps, and injecting messages into non-HTTPS connections to remind you of them. If it were a cap on Netflix or torrents then it would become a net neutrality issue. But now that we have a puppet pajeet taking a heaping shit on the FCC, we'll just be seeing more retarded shit like this, on top of anti-net-neutrality policies if puppet pajeet succeeds in reversing net neutrality.

>>61570437
Literally less than half the price

What do you mean? Apple Pay works on all those terminals?

>>61570542
>My transactions only take 10 seconds.
So you're saying that both our infrastructures are pretty much the same yet you pay just over twice what I would pay for the same service?

>>61570577
Works on most terminals since NFC implementations started pre-chip.

>>61570599
One would think they would advertise that shit. Unless someone has one of those Square adapters, I never know who uses it and who doesn't. It would be nice to be able to start leaving my credit card at home when I go to Walmart or Dillons.

>>61570597

Jesus fucking christ

>>61570610
It usually is, by the presence of a NFC tumor on top of the terminal, by an icon on the screen, or even a sticker. There's no universal standard, though I always try it on newer terminals.

Why is everything so much better in Europe? Way better internet, healthcare, less murders, nicer cities. Wtf happened to america

>>61570635
What's the NFC tumor? Wanna know what to look out for.

Now I don't know about you but I have fiber connected to my home even though I live in the middle of nowhere.
Also you'd have to explain what the relevant difference that you're so desperately grasping at is.
>Literally paying over twice what I would for literally the same service
Why the fuck are you trying to justify the fact that all your ISPs are money grubbing jews anyways?

>>61570691
So it's taken anywhere where that little symbol is shown?

>>61570681
>>Both of us have working roads (though yours apparently needed to be fixed recently)
Yeah, because I live in the suburbs along two state highways. Shit gets used 24/7.
>Now I don't know about you but I have fiber connected to my home even though I live in the middle of nowhere.
Lucky you, one actual advantage.
>Also you'd have to explain what the relevant difference that you're so desperately grasping at is.
Commercial service vs residential service. Differences in infrastructure, redundancy, etc. Technological as well as economic.
>>Literally paying over twice what I would for literally the same service
I'd pay $100 for it. It's a matter of competition, and laws are fucked in that regard. There are local ISPs expaning into my territory with prices to beat everyone else.
>Why the fuck are you trying to justify the fact that all your ISPs are money grubbing jews anyways?
Frontier isn't, it's Cumcast that's literally run by jews.

>>61570713
Should be, some might not have it enabled because shit can be inconsistent based on retailer or processing company.

>>61570736
Guess I'll try it out at different places before leaving the car at home. Somehow, I sincerely doubt Walmart will accept it, anyways. Looking at the news, they seem to hate the idea of using it. Dunno why. Maybe Apple takes a cut?

>>61570747
Walmart is into some scam called CurrentC, hacked days after it went into limited beta. It's connected straight to your bank account to bypass processing charges. It looks like it's dead though, so NFC should finally take its rightful place as the payment standard of the future.

>>61570747
>Maybe Apple takes a cut?
A very small one, and they take it from the banks rather than the retailers.

>>61570728
>Lucky you, one actual advantage.
I guess the price doesn't count all of a sudden
>Commercial service vs residential service. Differences in infrastructure, redundancy, etc. Technological as well as economic.
And how exactly does that matter in this context? How does that justify the price? Can you even give one direct example in which your ISP provides anything both different and better enough to justify 40$ more?
>Laws are fucked in that regard
>Frontier isn't run by jews
Frontier still overcharges for it, your ISPs are actively colluding in order to force you into these shitty deals, no matter how you look at it, your ISP still plays right into it.
>I'd pay 100$ for it
That's only because you don't have any real choice.

>>61570828
>ISPs are actively colluding
Again, those laws that nobody talks about.
>I guess the price doesn't count all of a sudden
I don't think a 1:1 comparison works since I live in a suburb using 100% private infrastructure vs rural service using presumably government owned or subsidized infrastructure. Service is the same though, but one of us is actually paying the real cost, and it keeps going down as the investment returns, unlike Cumcast.
>That's only because you don't have any real choice.
Not yet anyway. But people frequently hop from ISP to ISP, taking advantage of their discounts because they don't want to lose customers. As long as you're not cucked into a contract, it's easy and can get it for $50 if I tried.

>>61568386
