Bandwidth Caps are EVIL!

I think bandwidth caps are horrible. At best, they're a major inconvenience to power users, and at worst they make it impossible to even use the internet connection you overpay for. In this video I go over why I think bandwidth caps area just a money grab by most ISPs and why I hate them so much.

I use a microwave to connect to the Internet. No cap and makes my Ethernet cords smell great.

Cheers for recognising Australia dude. I used to make videos and had to wait overnight to upload them or play my games with 7000 ping. I've had to deal with every horrible thing Telstra has to offer here in Australia. Half government, half corporate greed.

In the netherlands we dont have bandwith caps. I have unlimited 500mbps :)

My old cave company had an 8GB cap (it was fine, I didn't watch YouTube)but when I started Skype calls, in less than a week!
And they are so bad that they didn't charge me, but the CUT MY INTERNET OFF!!

my isp is lying to me, they say unlimited, but its 70GB, the average in canada is 250.

Was happy to already forget about that.
Here, those have become a myth, thankfully.

Unlimited 4gLTE 100mbps down, 50mbps up. I'm aware there's a 23GB technical cap but I'm the only one in my area with my cell carrier :D So full speed 24/7 and only $60/m

My grandma lives in the state of West Virginia. And her internet is capped at 20 gb per month. Shes pays around 140$ per month for it. That being said, she does live in rural West Virginia. The fastest internet speed in West Virginia for residential use is 100mbps with my experience.

In Canada there almost always a bandwith cap. And on mobile they are as low as 100 mb per month and it's really hard to get more then 2 GB in mobile

We have a 300GB cap from Cox in Arizona. They don't charge you if you go over, they just call you.

My family still does the group share plan to get the deal. We *were* grandfathered in with unlimited data at a great price until some sales rep talked my dad into "upgrading [sic]" us into an unlimited minutes/very limited data plan. But we already had unlimited minutes most of the time, only drawing from a pool of several thousand minutes in specific situations (we only used 10-20% of the shared minutes because most calls qualified for the unlimited portion anyways). The kicker is it's my brother's wife's plan that we all jumped in just to be grandfathered in to the great deal in the first place. They only gave him privileges so he could buy a new phone not thinking he would actually fall for changing the plan.

Thats like eating your birthday cake but they take it off of your plate after 0.1 bites -_-

My bandwidth cap is 300GB but my cable company won't charge for overage

[MinecraftGamer]

My internet's so slow that I would never reach the cap. (GG Australia, GG)

[ficskala]

We have an option in Croatia to choose whether we want the limit or not, obviously it's cheaper to get it with the cap, but the cap isn't our problem, the problem is that average download speed is 5Mb/s, and 0.5Mb/s upload because ISPs have old cables, and it's "too expensive" to replace them with newer ones (in some parts where the wiring was done recently they have up to 1Gb dl). And don't get me started on fiber, almost every ISP offers it, but it's not available on the places where they have old wiring

[sheesh]

Just a few years ago 100mb of 4G data cost $5 in Australia

[quenz.goosington]

Our first home internet was dial up, second broadband 5 GB cap. We're still only on 500 GB per month.

[maynardkeays]

About the ridiculously low bandwidth caps in Australia don't worry we have the NBN now.

[MrCMPUTR]

When I had HughesNet the speed was about 700kbps and the datacap was 400MB per 24 hour period. I don't know how I survived.

[crazydrummer]

I remember times when we could choose internet every month, and we had option for 800MB and we used to choose that very often because it was cheap, but it was pretty useful. I thought bandwith caps were far behind us...
