>>376644216
While data caps are cancer, you haven't even exceeded the cap that you're trying to make fun of.
>>376644242
Verizon is now throttling people who use over 20GB. They used to only throttle over 100GB. I'm fucked.
caps are dumb as fuck, how could you even put up with one
>>376642205
>Data caps
Even the ISPs in my third world shithole of a country do not have data caps. Why are you burgers allowing this?

Is there really nothing that can be done there? No group complaints, protests etc.?
>>376643115
Comcast needs to rectified with a firebombing.

Charter speeds might be slow, but at least they don't have a data cap. I easily hit 1.5TB a month.
>>376644712

You probably think you need more data, but you don't!
>>376644709

>>376643875
I guess that'd make it even cheaper to live here.Get me out, I don't want to be here.
Mine throttles after 200GB per month, but I've never gone out of my way to avoid the cap and I've only managed to hit it once. I'd imagine it's more of an issue for people who watch 4k netflix all day or something.
>downloading more than a TB a month
I don't even hit 300GB.

The thing is that many of these companies have locked many of their competitors so they're able to provide shitty service because you literally have no one else to turn to.
>>376644906
5 fuckings gigs for 55?
>>376645205
Most people in America pay so much money for data they don't even use!
If you buy unlimited data for more than $55 and use less than 5GB then you're actually saving money with their all new plan.
Verizon, looking out for you.
>>376644906
If people don't go over 5GB, then why even have a limit in the first place? It's not like they will use more if they're not using it in the first place.
>all those super high data cap on this thread.
My cap is 80Gb, although in practive it doesnt matter.
My ISP dont throttle down the internet, if i hit the cap, it just means i have low priority in case the ISP gets overloaded during peak use time, which never happens.
>>376645069
I don't even download shit with Chrome (I use jdownloader as a download manager), and I have 600GB used basically just from YouTube. The fuck are you doing?

Data caps for single residents is reasonable. In a family of 3+kids, I don't think so.

This is fucking bullshit. FFXIII on Steam makes you download all the cutscenes in English and Japanese, so the file size is literally doubled. The worst part is it uses the shitty compressed video files that the Xbox version had instead of the lossless ones on PS4

>>376647802
OP here,
I used up approx. 66% of my data cap in the first 10 days. I only use Netflix and occasionally buy games on Steam.
I'm considering cutting Netflix to pirate shows so that I can watch them offline to preserve my data cap.
>datacaps
Not even here in Españistan where there is literally 1 single ISP for most of the country and the other ISPs use that one's infrastructure
>>376648165
> Datacap
> Has Netflix
ok buddy, thanks for the lul.
>>376645069
It's the principle of the matter. There shouldn't be data caps at all, especially with what the thieves at Comcast charge
>>376644906
I get unlimited for $35 through a special plan through Tmobile, but I rarely go over a gb of data. I don't like having set limits at all.
>>376642205
Haha, enjoy your "freedom" in the US
By the way freedom means companies can rape your ass, enjoy it
>>376647571
You realize how much larger it would be if it was lossless?
>>376644082
Not him but I live in Iraq and if we're lucky we would get less than 8 mbps during the dawn/early morning. The rest of the day varies from 100 to 300 KB/s
I just issue daily chargebacks against my ISP and file FCC, FBI, etc complaints daily. Basically I'm a nuisance to companies... Daily. Companies aren't people. Fuck 'em. They're slaves--the new niggers.
In Belgium, data caps are commonly between 20gb and 100gb per month. And the price of internet? Easily on the top end.
>>376644412
>Don't wanna pay more
>Have no other options
>So always curate self when nearing cap
>>376648165
Why would downloading a show and watching it offline use any less data than streaming it?
>>376642205
I wouldn't mind a data cap if I got more than 8 Mb/s (1 MB/s) down
>>376649152
If they ever want to watch it again, downloading is a one time hit on the data cap.
>>376649402

>>376650270
>if certain people have their way they will be outlawed
Certain people, meaning people with sense? People who aren't driven by ISP "donations"? Yeah that will never happen
I didn't even know the rest of the US didn't have a data cap for Comcast until the big stink about it last year. I live in a place that never got rid of it past the initial trial period years ago -- 2 years ago the cap was just 256GB (raised to 512GB a couple of months before the nation-wide 1TB implementation). I had to pay for business class internet just to avoid ridiculous charges for extra GB every month.
>>376648165
If you're using one of Comcast's provided router/modem hybrids, you can use xfinitywifi to avoid using your "own" bandwidth. I get 30/10mbps speeds leeching off of my neighbor's, so it's fine for most things.
>>376648872

How do you guys have such shit tier internet? I have charter high speed, no data caps, my gf and I stream, play games, download movies etc. I wouldnt live in an area that didnt offer high speed internet with unlimited data.
You guys might as well be using satellite internet lmao, losers.
>>376645483
It's to deter the 1% of power users who can and would and do go over 5 because they'll end up going to 500. Now, there shouldn't be a problem with this, as the ISPs made their network to handle data, but it sets the precedent that if people can use your network they'll use it. Remember, in an ideal world, you'll buy their plan then never use or tax their network.
>>376642205
>data caps

>>376651439
Yeah because they obviously don't pay off govt officials.

>>376652508
Because I got no other options for fuck sake
The country I live in is probably one of the most chill on the planet but it has its cons living here and one of them is that the internet is fucking awful, even every normie knows this

>yfw unlimited 4G/5G data will become a reality in your lifetime once the internet becomes bloated with retarded shit like 4K videos for people's 4K phones
demolishing net neutrality is the only way carriers/bad ISP's will be able to continue to nickle and dime customers once the internet's demands on devices is too great to nickle-and-dime them on data, that's probably why they're doing it now. sucks.

>>376654335
It's true and most of the time it's because the telecoms bribe them. Literally bribe them, money under the table, because there is no oversight at the local level. Town governments are corrupt as shit and the elections are mindless free-for-alls due to voter apathy. I don't even know who the fuck is on my town council, or who the mayor is. What I do know is that Comcast gave one or all of them enough money to keep fiber out of here for the next ten years because I know people who work for Verizon.

Unless its cable, Telekom lets other ISPs use their network.
