1 year agoData caps are everywhere, I’m not sure why you’d think they’re a thing of the past. I believe the scenario is more like “you’re lucky if your plan doesn’t have caps” instead.
1.5T/month is uncomfortable though. One of my VPN services has a 1T/month softcap (speed drastically reduces after that) and it’s usually fine for my household, but one person going crazy on YouTube rabbit holes or us binging something on Netflix, pushes that limit fast.
Terrible scenario, but unfortunately I think there’s too much money involved for the right thing to be done and this kind of service getting the treatment it should have.
I’m not normalizing anything and I didn’t say there is nowhere you can get unlimited plans. I said it’s not a thing of the past.
I too have uncapped broadband, but I know it’s not something I should fall into the trap of taking for granted.
