I thought data caps for home internet were a thing of the past…

I’ve somewhat recently moved back to a very rural area of the Midwest. Small town. No stop lights. Biggest businesses other than the bars are Casey’s, Subway, and Dollar General.

And we have one ISP (not counting DSL) — Mediacom. When we first signed up, I had to go with the second service tier. But not because of speeds, but so I could have a reasonable 1 TB/mo data cap.

Lucky me, they increased the cap to 1.5 TB. 🙄

I hope that in my lifetime I can see ISPs regulated as a public utility.

Confused American here, I thought third-world countries all had gigabit for $20/mo!

The fuck that's so bad. I pay 45€/m for Vodafone, unlimited with 400Mbps. For mobile I also have unlimited plans with about 100€/m (for both me and my wife, with a premium smartphone). Change your provider man.

Are you high? S/he's paying 15 euro less than you each month with slightly worse upload speed than you but also with faster download speed

I think he just hit the wrong reply button. Probably meant to reply to helmet91's comment.

I pay around 20$ for 1000/500 uncapped, driven by the fact that there is healthy competition.
