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.

    Those prices are indeed absurd! Sad to hear such exploitation is happening where you live :/ I currently pay ~28€ for 500Mbps down and 200Mbps up without any cap (plus a bunch of TV channels and landline phone). The connection is really good via cable, I get around 4/5ms of ping to 1.1.1.1, and the router/modem is very nice too, with WiFi working great. I sometimes get down speeds over 500 and nearer 600, while uploads often go at 100, and I’m totally fine with that. I’m happy with the deal I have right now, but I’m always looking to improve it when it’s time to renew :P
