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.
Shit dude, I pay €20 for synchronous 1Gb/s.
Scandinavia or east Asia?
Since they are paying in € it's probably Scandinavia.
No country in Scandinavia uses the Euro, they're all out of the Eurozone- unless you count Finland.
True, but Asia was even more unlikely.
Neither, Spain.
God, and I pay 45€ for 250 Mbit down and 50 up... Germany is so expensive in this regard. Could get 1Gb down and I think 250 up but that would cost like 90€..
Yeah I remember having really shit speeds when I lived in Berlin (10mpbs). Not only that, but the data allowances and price on 4g were absurd.
Yeah it's crazy, I live in a more rural area around Hamburg but have to commute to Hamburg from time to time. It's always weird, as soon I enter the city the 4 / 5G just becomes super slow...
