It’s extremely challenging advocating for this in the USA because most people have no idea the difference between upload and download, and how data caps play into it.
You can get gigabit 5G in many areas but it’s manifestly a different animal than symmetrical gigabit fiber internet without caps.
- lazide 4y agoThis is in-home/last mile. It's basically a law requiring every home have a minimum degree of ethernet or equivalent done and pulled to somewhere it can be connected to a provider, not a requirement that a provider of a specific speed be available. Which is pretty good, and about time! It's like requiring the house be wired for electricity to a bare minimum (1 outlet per room, 1 switched light per room, that kind of thing).
- imhoguy 4y agoFiber has caps too, although hidden under "Fair Usage Policy". I know as I see some stories on /r/DataHorder, some starting from 1TB/month. Ofc they are much higher than cellular/5G caps.
