Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn’t? I understand bandwidth limits, but how can home internet get away with giving users all the data they can use, but cell phone providers can’t?
AT&T asks the same question. They provide the bold option to pay more than the competition and get data limits on your home internet.
Not all of them do, I’ve seen that in America data limits on home internet is common, and here in Europe unlimited phone data is common.
money.
data caps are coming to home internet soon too and with inescapable hidden contracts; switch to an independent isp to avoid it before you’re entrapped into one.
Ah yes I’ll just pick from one of the many ISPs in my area
they exist and they usually suck compared to something like comcast or at&t; but they’re much better than a $500 internet bill because you went over your limit or paying considerably more for breaking the contract that you didn’t know you signed when you didn’t read the fine print.
In a lot of places in the US there is only one home service provider.
i’m aware and fwiw; that’s where it’ll be implemented last since the people there are the biggest and best chance at pushing back against this successfully.
Where are my Rogers home internet customers at? 🇨🇦
I moved to Telus when Rogers bought Shaw and screwed up my billing plan, and were unwilling to be competitive.
Both Rogers and Telus have capped plans and more expensive “unlimited” plans.
