Comment on FCC restores net neutrality rules that ban blocking and throttling in 3-2 vote
Valmond@lemmy.world 2 months agoI have a 186GB 5G monthly limit on my 10€ mobile subscription, then (supposedly) it drops to 4G speed. I’m ok with those kind of limits because they are not there to milk people.

186 GB
Oddly specific and insane limit that nobody is ever going to reach

You will if you hotspot your phone and connect your computer to it instead of paying for a home internet plan.

Yeah, this is fair. I’m spoiled with gigabit so I forgot people still do that.

the problem here is that it’s still there to milk people. It’s just not like, criminal.

I checked the carriers around here and all of them unsurprisingly offer the same thing. 50GB 5G for 50€ that drop to roughly 2G speeds once the limit is reached.
Almost 20x the cost of your subscription.
