    Is this some kind of European joke I’m too American to understand? In the US the only way you’re getting internet service without a bandwidth cap is if you either pay a fortune for it or if you live so far out in the country they haven’t even invented bandwidth caps yet.

      I was just reacting to your joke lol

      I didn’t think a bandwidth cap was real. like, today ? there are bandwidth caps ? that’s mad. Is there no competition to fight this ?

        In my European country, there are no bandwidth caps for DSL or fibre connections. But if you’re not in a town (which most of us aren’t) and can only get internet via a 4g (or rarely 5g) connection, you have to live with a shitty 700GB cap, which is fucking ludicrous.
