I see, thanks. This sounds quite terrible actually : if internet has any historical impact, the last thing you want is for people to think about "not using too much data". I hope this won't last.



Many big American ISPs are too greedy. Even worse is that most people have no clue how much a gigabyte of data is.

About the time Chairman Wheeler was aiming for net neutrality, he was also looking at data caps and if they were bad. Within a month, Comcast increased theirs to 1 TB. Coincidence?

There's going to be a lot about how 'competitive' ISPs are in the next few years in America now that everything's Republican. But most people have two options: expensive cable ISP that's fast when it wants to be, and slow DSL that's also expensive and not getting better.
