![[RANT] I pay $70/mo for this privilege](https://i.imgur.com/xEZZ9Hb.jpg){kind=link}
I thought data caps for home internet were a thing of the past…
I’ve somewhat recently moved back to a very rural area of the Midwest. Small town. No stop lights. Biggest businesses other than the bars are Casey’s, Subway, and Dollar General.
And we have one ISP (not counting DSL) — Mediacom. When we first signed up, I had to go with the second service tier. But not because of speeds, but so I could have a reasonable 1 TB/mo data cap.
Lucky me, they increased the cap to 1.5 TB. 🙄
I hope that in my lifetime I can see ISPs regulated as a public utility.
Scandinavia or east Asia?
Since they are paying in € it’s probably Scandinavia.
No country in Scandinavia uses the Euro, they’re all out of the Eurozone- unless you count Finland.
True, but Asia was even more unlikely.
Neither, Spain.
internet in other parts of the world is honestly developing at astounding speed. I got offered 1gbps synchronous fiber for $75/month in Vietnam in 2019.
