It depends on your use case. I live in a decent sized one bedroom apartment with heavy Internet usage, so I got a 500Mbps unlimited Internet service (remember, the hardware isn’t the only part of the equation) and the wifi 6 capable tp-link AX1500.
It’s just what we call “internet” in most countries 😂 Remember the early 2000s when ISPs tried to limit how much internet we could use and so we just switched to another provider that had a better offer, and the whole ‘limit’ thing disappeared virtually overnight?
Yeah…
I don’t remember it being like that, ever. 😅
We had 56k dial-up as our first connection, but the only limiting factor was that it was a bit costly due to essentially being a phone call. No limit on the data. Then came ADSL – 1.5 Mbps speed, but no data limit. Then 100/10 Mbps in the more modern era, so of course no limit. Now as an adult living on my own, I’ve had 100/100 Mbps, 300/150 Mbps, and now 500/500 Mbps, obviously no limits.
This was all in Sweden.
But yeah, like you say, I guess most other countries don’t really have limits on the data. I find that to be insane in 2024 that an ISP would limit the amount of data you can use. It would have to be really freaking cheap and I’d have to be really freaking poor to want to choose that option.
What I do remember is being limited on how much data I can use on my phone, which is still a thing in 2024. I also find that to be rather crazy when I think about it.
Some ISPs in the US added data caps to their home internet plans. I believe we used to have bans on said caps until relatively recently, and now the FCC is trying to impose a ban again.
