What? I definitely care how fast my internet is regardless of my bandwidth cap. For most people, internet consistency and speed is a more noticeable metric than data caps. Speed effects video/audio call quality, page load times, etc.
Look, i get annoyed at data caps. I've taken multiple comcast employees to task over it. But the idea that speed is irrelevant when caps are present strikes me as pearl clutching.
- ozim 6y agoI have mobile data connection where transfer fluctuates during the day. In the morning 15Mbit during the day 5Mbit and in the evening might go as low as 2Mbit. It mostly works fine but at some point of the day it might just stop working, like 2x a day. I have 50Gig data cap, I am not annoyed by it because I can control it. I might watch yt on lower resolution or skip netflix binge in the weekend, because I need transfer for work. What I cannot control is transfer speed and glitches. It totally depends on what other people in mobile network are doing. If they all start streaming at the same time or having meetings, bad luck, have to wait it out. It is not making me angry because I understand it, but it is uncomfortable. Where data cap does not bother me that much. Going to get better internet soon.
