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.
what the hell
WTF? 25gbps? Dang we really do have shitty internet in the States.
As a German I'm now even more scared how our politicians fucked up so bad that our neighboring country has basically double the average speed. Also, Vodafone's best speed is Gigabit, as in 1 Gbit/s or 1000 Mbit/s. And either 50 Mbps upload over cable or 500 with optic fiber, but later isn't available for me yet. And also, the cable option costs 50€ per month.
