Or more accurately, to disincentive excessive use. They don’t need a cap to simply charge you more money, they’ve been doing that just fine with or without caps

- paxys 3y agoThat would be a valid argument if they defined "excessive" based on infrastructure limits rather than a demand curve and market research.
- endisneigh 3y agoAll prices are based on “demand curve and market research” so I’m not sure what your point is.
- paxys 3y agoMy point from the start has been that ISPs put data caps and overage charges in place to make extra money, not to protect their infrastructure.
