Unchecked corporate greed.
I switched to Cox Business which is offers much slower speeds at a higher cost than residential, just so I don’t have to pay an extra $50 /mo for their unlimited plan. They have no competition in my area. AT&T doesn’t offer Internet to new subscribers if you only have copper and not Fiber and you can forget about cell service.
I work from home and the rest of my family is home all day every day. 1.25 TB per month data cap is not sufficient and we were constantly going over.
Cox Communications can suck it.
One answer: $$$$$$$
Charging for both a connection speed and a limit is ridiculous. The latter is obviously a cash grab, but paired with different tiers of speed just screams “regulate me”
Because you corrupt morons (really, your predecessors) allowed it to be. I’m old enough to remember losing that fight.
