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.

I bit the bullet on the Unlimited plan from Comcast, canceled CATV & Phone with them to cover the difference. Pay less & don’t miss cable a bit thanks to Sonarr & a purpose built NAS.

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”

Fuck regulation.

Take it all back. They used eminent domain to gift them monopolies on the lines to begin with. They abused it. Take it back away.

It makes no sense to me… My connection speed already has a limit just as a function of that speed over time.

Because you corrupt morons (really, your predecessors) allowed it to be. I’m old enough to remember losing that fight.

The predecessor are still around in the FCC. Also their replacement share the same views. This is just lip service meant to make it seem like they care
