I thought data caps for home internet were a thing of the past…
I’ve somewhat recently moved back to a very rural area of the Midwest. Small town. No stop lights. Biggest businesses other than the bars are Casey’s, Subway, and Dollar General.
And we have one ISP (not counting DSL) — Mediacom. When we first signed up, I had to go with the second service tier. But not because of speeds, but so I could have a reasonable 1 TB/mo data cap.
Lucky me, they increased the cap to 1.5 TB. 🙄
I hope that in my lifetime I can see ISPs regulated as a public utility.
I get unlimited 10Gbps symmetric fiber for $40/month. One of the only affordable things in the San Francisco Bay Area, lol
what the actual fuck, thats so cheap
Probably lives near datacenter
2Gbps symmetric fiber, $70/month, flyover state. Could go up to 5Gbps for another like $20. No data caps. I may never move again.
I get half that speed from a plan that costs more, though at least I don't have data caps and it's better than other plans I've seen
H O W Can I buy your home please? It would probably be cheaper to do that then keep paying for internet
Nice houses are over $1.8 million here. Expensive area, but at least the internet is a good deal.
Off topic: I see that there is "9 more replies" and I am unable to expand the thread... could someone please offer guidance?
I see them!
Here's a screenshot:
It works now? I am going to read the lemmy.org guide and hopefully mend this. Thank you for replying, your instance has a comfortable ui.
My screenshot is from the "Boost" mobile app on Android :) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rubenmayayo.lemmy
https://upvote.au/comment/949970 - I was referring to your instance. It is yours right? It does feel counterintuitive to use a closed source client to access an open-source network. If I may ask, how did you make the decision to use boost for lemmy?
You must have Sonic.net like I do. I was so glad the home I bought was in their coverage area. Fuck Comcast.
Yes!! They're the best. I switched to Sonic as soon as they rolled out in my area. Availability (or future availability) of Sonic was one of the things I looked for when buying a house.
