    Who the fuck cares about 10Gbit/s? With data caps, there is nothing I am downloading on a mobile device that is perceptibly faster than downloading it at 1/1000 of that speed

      Imagine having data caps in 2024

        And this a problem only in the monopolistic culture of the US. I can’t name a single EU State with broadband data cap.

          Uhh… Germany would like to have a word

          Most carriers do offer some uncapped plan, I think, but it’s expensive and not the default

              Ah. Well the first comment in this chain talked about mobile devices, so I was assuming we were talking about mobile data plans

      I have 8/8 gbps with no caps… quantum fiber (lumen, CenturyLink). The speed is amazing.

          Sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t, but you only know when you check and go to use it.

            $185? It’s not that expensive for 8/8 IMO… 1gig cable is like $300

              Yeah, that’s not bad. I pay $70 for just 1/1, so…

      Holy shit I thought data caps died in the mid 2000s. Why is the US allowing ISPs get away with this nonsense?

        Because we apparently love A-B testing our government.

      This isn’t about 10gbps which is the point. It’s also not really about mobile. The packages they are offering are mostly cable connections (with a side of mobile).

      The point is for dense areas, so theres enough bandwidth to share

      No one needs 100Mbps on their mobile data 99% of the time.

      10th generation, not 10gbps download speed.
