Are you ready for ISP data caps?
>>103241875>4 years of a democrat Biden>data caps still there>another 4 years of Trump>KAMALA WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!Will amerifats ever realize that their voice means jack shit in the grand scheme of things?
>>103241981What data caps? Spectrum doesn't have caps
by highly competitive they're referring to absolute lack of options for most consumers?
>>103241875>>103241981>data caps?What caps? Where? Ameribros? I haven't had a Data cap in Australia for over 18 years.Explain yourselves.
>>103241875what a fucking kike lover
>>103242204Yet.
>>103242386Counterpoint: you live in Australiabut at least you have a cool bgmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISA50diedYk
I live in a large metropolitan area and have never heard of data caps for residential plansThere do tend to be caps for mobile though.
>>103242204>move away from home >go from spectrum to comcast/xfinity>mfw datacap I thought you fags were lying what the FUCK
>>103241875I'm not a Yank
>>103241875>arse technicaImagine being so desperate that you even have to post your opinions on anime dumpster fire forum as a last ditch effort to save your burning businesses. You lost the game already, either jump ship or burn away with the rest of them.
My data usage says 1.6TB downloaded for the last month, am I going to be ok?
>>103241875I haven't had a data cap since 2017
>>103241875ISP should be allowed to use them, yes.
>>103242760but at the same time, if an ISP wants my business they would do better to not limit my data usage because I will simply change to one that gives me more.
>>103242768Every ISP can easily collude to put you down, and they will. As they have.
>>103242789I will choose the ISP that doesn't do that.
>>103241875lol i had a 5GB data cap 20 years ago while muttoids had unlimitedhow the turns table
>>103242799There won't be one.
>>103242810then i will make one, and become richAmerica distilled desu
>>103242820Wait until you learn about ISPs locking down areas and not letting other ISPs compete.
>>103242847I don't mean "I" as in "me" will make one, I mean some other company that can deal with shit.
>>103241875Back to the 90's. Pay Muskrat 5 per minute for your Star Link voip call.It's either bandwidth limits OR data caps.If you do both, you slow down and harm the whole economy.
Meanwhile in the UK/EU you can just make an ISP overnight and every single ISP has unlimited plans as standard.The absolute state of muttmerica
>>103242904Does anyone actually believe that a satellite internet service can ever compete with cable or fiber? The only real use for starlink is for extremely rural places that have no infrastructure.
>>103242925probably nobody believes it, they expect it to be slowerI think they do expect high throughput though
>>103242929It's useless for like 98% of the population then. The only viable market for them to make money from is airlines and cruise ships.
>>103242929And yet again Muskrat is lying about it in media.Sure, LEO has much better latency than GEO but the future 8ms Muskrat promise is impossible.Media converters & the distance alone takes aprox that, and then you need to route to elsewhere.
>>103242956>>103242942ok niggers im going to play bo6
>>103242942No. It's also a contemporary lockean flag.As in, the US is abuusing it for the colonization of space. Be aware of the fact that the useable amount of space in space is Limited.
>>103242386I have never had a data cap. I think they're talking about on mobile phone networks.
>>103242867>Thing is impossible>Then I will do it!>But not me, somebody else will do itFaggots in a nutshell
I am the uncapped american
>>103243013you're a nigger?
>>103242956Even if 8ms was possible it still can't compete with wired internet. I get 8ms pinging google.com, of which 1.6ms is to my local ISP router, so if starlink was adding 8ms, I'd be getting almost double the latency I have now. It would have to be significantly cheaper than the $50/month I'm paying for internet now for it to be competitive.
>>103243060i get 9 ms to cod server
>>103243040lmao cry harder faggot>you pay to get insulted on the internet btw
>>103243086I am ready for data caps if it means America becoming great againFully unashamed.
>>103243097You are already a faggot and you will be a faggot again.Suck it baby boy
is it time again?
>>103243146actually, you are the faggot.
Isn't Genius Man Elon Musk's StarLink soft-capped to 1TB/mo? After that you get "de-prioritized" AKA dogshit speeds
>>103241875Why do they say shit like "Data caps reflect highly competitive environment"? Its clearly bullshit, everyone knows its bullshit but if the only thing it achieved was making them look like liars, politicians wouldnt say outrageous shit like thisThe 1% of people who think it somehow makes sense shouldnt outweigh the 99% of people who think you are a lying scumbag. It confuses me so much
>>103241981>4 years of a democrat Biden>no data capsMy reality, at least.
>>103243191are you gay, or unhealthy? I would be eager to know...
>>103242925the only real use of starlink is guiding russian drones and exfiltrating intellegence from chinese spy baloons.
>>103241981They were actually looking to finally ban caps, hence the Republican commissioners bitching about it. You can kiss that goodbye now.https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/10/fcc-republican-opposes-regulation-of-data-caps-with-analogy-to-coffee-refills/
>>103241875>are you ready they already exist for most people
>>103243257>4 years, they were definitely going to ban data caps this timeYou fucking retards don't realize this shit could be done tomorrow with a stroke of pen. It doesn't get done because they don't want it to get done.
>>103241875Wait, do Americans have data caps on their HOME internet? I thought this was for mobile internet.Land of the free indeed. Free to pay for what the rest of the world gets for free, kek.
>>103243097Data caps are a symptom of America lack of greatness and diminished freedoms.
>>103241981>>KAMALA WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!Nobody said that dumb nigger.
>>103243336>they already exist for most peopleIn shithole countries, sure.
>>103241875I don't give a shit, I just pirate everything anyways. Fuck streaming services and cable jews.
>>103243067You need 2ms just to reach LEO alone.From there you may have to hop to another LEO node before you get beamed to the ordinary internet. Routing and media conversion costs time too. Let's say 1 ms per hop. Estimated in your favor.Your statement can only be true if the Star Link ground station is at the same location as the physical cod server and peering directly.So let's just assume your data is incorrect.
This shouldn't be surprising. Trump's last FCC chair as Ajit Pai
>>103241981Optimum hasn't had data caps since the WFH boom anon
Used to live in the capital of Oregon, and Comcast had a monopoly on where I lived. I paid $90/mo for 400/10 (best they could do) with a 1Tb cap I regularly hit. So glad I live in Alaska again, where the ISP monopoly here is at least somewhat benevolent
fucking hell I regret voting already
>>103241875ISPs already have data caps and have been there for decades. I dont understand the question. The only one that dont have caps is I believe Starlink. They dont have datacaps and they dont have speed caps.
>>103241875they just wrote this headline so they could say "trump" and you fell for it
>>103242725no, they will cap at 1 TB
>>103243856Same thing with Elon, tranny media are so predictable.
>>103243856Why isn't it appropriate to refer to Trump when he is going to be the one appointing the next FCC chair and will be determining telecommunications policy for the next 4 years?
I'll switch to a cheaper provider if they do that. I don't care about caps now, (not because I'm a MIGAcuck,) but because I already downloaded what mattered. If I could stop using the internet I would, but it's tied to too many services. My parents got rid of their cable/satellite service before the pandemic, they were customers to charter/dish for almost 30 years. I remember they used to call almost everyday trying to get my folks back on that bullshit, I wish we could do the same with internet.
>>103243988I would probably read a lot more if we did this. It would be bad for freedom but it would be good for community. Imagine if people read books and played cards and board games together with regularity again. The worst victims are old people who become mentally retarded TV zombies.
I spoke to Verizon FiOS technical support about this one time. They said why would logically ever do that we're not Comcast.
>>103241875my ISP has a 1.5TB cap, there is another one in my area, they have a 1TB cap. But in the past year I've only gone over 200GB/month twice. There's not a lot that's worth torrenting anymore.
>>103243009Cable companies means wired internet.
>>103244798>1.5TBouch.
>>103244929Guessing you're a coomer?
>>103241875>fiber>data capsmight aswell go back to stone ageimagine letting some faggot ISP tell you how much you can use of your internet that you fucking pay for
>>103242820there wont be any, 100GB per month if you support Trump, if you vote the future democrat President AOC-it will be unlimited data.
>>103242477If only, our BGM sucks ass. Can't even sing it without asking for more migrants.
>>103241875>telecom imposes data cap>telecom boxes and underground wires mysteriously damaged
>>103241875>capfr tho?
>>103243257>They were actually looking to finally ban capsBut they're not banned now, so... is the complaint that things will be how they are right now?
>>103241875Thank God I am not american
>>103242204one of the few good things about spectrum10mbps upload is absurd
>>103241875So how come non-telco companies don't fight against datacaps?Video games are now hundreds of gigabytes, video streaming accounts for a significant fraction of all internet traffic, TikTok is built on you spending hours every day there, Microsoft wants you to stream Windows from the cloud...All these massive megacorps for whom it is in their best interest to rid the world of datacaps, yet they're doing nothing about it and instead are letting telcos keep lobbying to ensure datacaps remain. Why?
>>103246265>ISP charges their customers more to cover the cost of replacement>customers have no choice but to bite the pillow and spread their cheeks because even if there's a competing ISP (there isn't) they still use the same infrastructureThis is not something that can be solved with petty vandalism.
>>103243405There's a process to follow if they don't want the courts throwing it out (not that it'd necessarily help against the current pack of partisan hacks). Biden's problem was taking WAY too long to fill the FCC chair seat so that they could actually pass shit on a 3-2 vote. Sohn would've been great, but even she wasn't nominated for almost a year, and then the Senate cockblocked her for another 1.5 and he didn't pivot.>>103246438Yes? The assfuckings will continue another 4 years minimum.
>>103246617>The assfuckings will continueWell the way OP phrased it made it seem like Trump was going to mandate data caps.
>>103241875Welcome to Trump's america
>>103242904>MuskratRedditor tranny
>>103241875ITT: idiots who don't grok the "Tragedy of the Commons"
Cox and Comcast (Xfinity) are the only large ISPs with data caps and even for them, it's only in some markets. Keep in mind that Trump in general hates the tech industry for constantly shitting on him so it's not like they have a friend in the White House now. Comcast owns MSNBC, probably the most rapid Trump hating media outlet. If you have Cox or Comcast and are in an area with data caps, the solution is local not federal. Neither of those ISPs have data caps in markets with significant competition. Tell your city or county to allow competition. That's the level at which monopolies on the last mile of infrastructure are granted. Trying to get the FCC or some other federal agency to pass a rule when you could instead put pressure on your local city council, made up of people who you see at the grocery store, is the dumbest way to go about it.
>>103246617no fuck off, they had 8 years with Obama and 4 years with Biden, I don't give a fuckyou people are so hilariously brain rotted because you cannot see that your team NEVER fixes shit especially if it's against their Blue Corpo donors.
>>103241875kek.... just wake me up. I'm just glad ending net neutrality didn't fully fuck the internet up.
>>103241981I actually haven't had data caps post Trump. Checkmate atheist.
>>103241875>Are you ready for ISP data caps?My little ISP wont bother. They do track data-hogs, only for bragging rights. Half of them are employees.
>>103241981based and redpilled
>>103247291so instead you'll vote for something objectively even worse than the "status quo?" Why are you such a brainrotted faggot?
>>103247383Trump will always be my favorite if he manages one of the following which leftists like you say will happen:- he fires every cocksucker in the government that ever voted blue- he demolishes the department of the education- he executes 20 million illegals in the street- he ass rapes China so hard with tariffs that Funko Pops cost $1000 a piece
>>103247420and then you get 100GB datacaps.
>>103247430good, I fucking hope the internet becomes unusable for normies, I also hope he passes internet IDs
>>103247438and you claim leftists are the brainrotted when you objectively want things to get worse.what the fuck is wrong with you? are you a tranny as well?
>>103247453anything that will make you leave the internet and/or be in prison is good to me
Meanwhile my ISP in Switzerland offers 25 Gbit for 65 bucks a month and has a fair use policy of 500 fucking terabytes. https://www.init7.net/de/kleingedrucktes/072021_contractual-conditions-init7.pdfI love not living in freedom country.
>>103246502I have symmetrical gig with spectrum thoughbeit, no competition either
>>103247459Based and radicalized.
>>103248341What the fuck. I bet you have excellent peering to the Dutch and French datacenters too. It's over
data caps? in the country where carriers told people that "tethering," is a premium feature that costs extra? say it ain't so.
>>103247438For four percent of the world population? Ok.
>>103249552>he posts on an American website
>>103242629Imagine being so completely brain dead you have to resort to ad-hominems to protect your cultist brainrot.
>>103242629I miss the old days before they hired all those women writers
>>103249352Of course. My ISP has an open peering policy and is peering with pretty much anyone.
>>103242204I don't remember not having a data cap for wifi, although at shitty speeds it didn't really matter at all
>>103241875Go ahead and force people to pay attention to what they're paying you every month when you as a business are fully aware you're actively fucking them in the ass. Brilliant business strategy.
>>103250534It is the case that people have no choice in ISP provider. So they can do whatever they feel like.
This confuses the American. There's no tethering ban either (because it's illegal)
>>103250748Always funny when people in the US complain about the shit things in the US and glaze euros having it better. Then you tell them regulations do that, then its all "noooo regulations are bad"
>>103250735A lot of people have more choice than they actually realize. The dumb bastards are going to make them realize it.
>>103250846Yeah, like fucking earthlink dialup and the local dsl company that can offer you a horrible 40 down, 1 up connection, also with data cap, for $50+ a month? Or are you pretending melon husks' satellite internet system is some big magic solution?
>>103243943Nothing changed with Biden, did they make the same article for him? Please post it if so
>>103251091>a horrible 40 down, 1 up connection, also with data capwhy bother with a data cap for that? that's max about 13TB per month, which is hardly anything
This is a skill issue. These can be sidestepped with the right equipment.
