Who the fuck cares about 10Gbit/s? With data caps, there is nothing I am downloading on a mobile device that is perceptibly faster than downloading it at 1/1000 of that speed

Holy shit I thought data caps died in the mid 2000s. Why is the US allowing ISPs get away with this shit?

The point is for dense areas, so theres enough bandwidth to share
No one needs 100Mbps on their mobile data 99% of the time.

And this a problem only in the monopolistic culture of the US. I can’t name a single EU State with broadband data cap.

Most carriers do offer some uncapped plan, I think, but it’s expensive and not the default
