[RANT] I pay $70/mo for this privilege
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.

I was shocked when my friend from India told me that for 400 Mbps up and down, he pays only $14/month. Limit: 3.3 TB per month.

How would you even hit a 3.3 TB limit a month in normal usage? AAA games these days are hitting 100 GB but how many of those are you going to download in a month? Streaming Netflix 24/7 will also not get you there, unless maybe it was 4k content the whole time. Maybe if you're pirating uncompressed Blu-ray rips?
