Comcast/Xfinity is also blatantly manipulating their numbers. I’ve measured my traffic every month for the last 3 years. Some how, during December, I magically went over my 1.2TB cap for the first time (now that they are actually enforcing caps).
I checked my network and my data was 987gb. Well below the 1.2TB cap that Comcast said I went over.
Data caps are just atrocious behavior. Truly barbaric. I’m a hardcore capitalist, but I’m directly opposed to corruption, and that’s what cable and ISPs like Comcast are. Corrupt, archaic, welfare corporations that drain the soul out of society.

The nice thing about supporting capitalism and free markets is that it still is easy to object to monopolies. In a free market, I wouldn't care if $ISP sucks or charges extra for certain traffic, because if I didn't like it I'd use one of their 40 competitors.
- ryanSrich 6y agoI'm not sure what your point is, are you agreeing or disagreeing with me? I have exactly 1 option for an ISP in a moderately sized US city, which feels wrong.
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoI think I'm agreeing with you, at least in that I think our fundamental problem in many cases is precisely that we're already not operating in a free market; I would abhor regulation on ISPs if they were actually competitive, but when they operate as monopolies or duopolies I'm not nearly so opposed.
