      That I have a data cap of 100GB and after that I am at 56kbps speeds? Because we treat the internet as a luxury instead of a utility.

        WTF, Internet providers once tried to impose data caps on home internet here in Germany, but they dropped that real fast.

        And 100GB isnt even a lot of data, its more like a top tier phone plan, not even close to enough for a home.

        I will soon get gigabit fiber for 40€ per month, so yeah.

          Hey now, that’s unfair to 3rd world countries. I live in a 3rd world country and we don’t have data caps lol. Only place I’ve heard of them is in the US and Australia (notably not 3rd world countries).

          Welcome to comcast ‘business practices’. I have a 1 TB cap too, I think they charge $10 per bundle of 50 or 100 gb after, or something equally ridiculous for ‘overage charges’.
