except ISPs say/advertise "unlimited", but then turns around and try to limit it. they shouldn't be able to have it both ways. besides, there are several other problems. in many (US) areas, there's no competition. there's no symmetric internet available (otherwise, you could schedule it overnight where network usage is lower). vice versa, you don't save money if you use less data volume. either they bill by bandwidth, or volume. maybe both if they're upfront. too often, it seems like consumers are getting shafted, unless you overpay and under-utilise. it isn't even a ridiculous data volume if you record a lot of video (4k gopro) or pictures.
