Good. It's absurd that wired ISPs are trying to institute data caps. Unlike wireless providers, they don't have to compete in an auction market for spectrum. The only limitation for them is their own network infrastructure buildout, which presumably is financed using the monthly subscription costs that users pay.
If a customer pays for X mbps, they should get that X mbps.
Not to mention that most wifi-only devices have no built-in way to cap data while remaining connected. Apple News recently made headlines (https://9to5mac.com/2021/01/25/fix-apple-news-download-bug-macos-big-sur/ https://9to5mac.com/2021/01/25/fix-apple-news-download-bug-m...) for consuming tons of background data on MacOS. And IoT devices that get hacked may end up being extremely costly for people who work from home and need that data.
