I recently got an email notifying me that my ISP has implemented data caps on all plans, and since I routinely exceed my new data cap of 1024GB/mo they will be charging me $10/50GB overage starting next month.

I think this is outrageous, so I’m shopping around for a new ISP, but there are only 2 or 3 that offer service to my house, and at least one of them is twice the price of my current ISP. I’m curious how everyone here is treated by their ISPs?

I’m paying $55/mo for 100Mbps down (actually get ~45mbps max), and I’m capped at 1024GB/mo. The next best ISP without a data cap is a maximum of 20Mbps down, for $60/mo.

$ = USD

      Oh man, is that a permanent rate?! I wish we had comparable rates around here.

        yup

        it’s a result of a combination of absence of preexisting internet infrastructure providers’ monopoly and poor population… unexpectedly combined with a lack of net neutrality 🤷‍♀️
