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.

The Western world, try anywhere. I'm from Eastern Europe and I haven't had a data cap even on my mobile network for a while.

I've never even seen even offers of data capped wire connections in person.

Give me your sim card please

[–] maynarkh@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can't, it's an e-sim.

But you can get your own for 30 EUR here with no data cap, or 10 EUR with a data cap.
