Why the fuck are ISPs allowed to hold monopolies on most of America. Can anything be done about this? Is anyone even trying?

People are making their own wireless networks with WiMax . You could try doing this if you have any knowledge . Or just purchase satellite internet
>$10/every 50gb over 1tb
that's a lot of data, how much do you spend do you spend a month?
>Be me
>have 1tb limit
>have to pay for overages
>also $10/50gb (att)
>play lots of online vidya
>stream netflix/youtube 24/7 365 over 2 devices
>walk into bedroom in middle of night to put on something for wife to sleep to.
>wake up in middle of night to put on show to sleep to.
>never, in 5 years, go over 650gb.
Lol.
I never heard of wimax, I'll look into it but no I'm not knowledgeable on the subject at all. I can't rely on satellite because I need a steady connection for my job.
call them and ask about removing the cap for a fee, know a guy who got a similar cap and they took it off for an added flat extra to the bill
Repealing net neutrality caused this to happen
Lol, no.
That's a lot of 4K gay pornography you're watching
You are one stupid fuck aren't you
I should mention I also have a family, so a lot of data being used up throughout the month.
How the fuck do you only have one ISP? Move out of niggerville.
I live in the whitest neighborhood in all of Arizona.
>Using residential internet for commercial reasons
Nigger suck it up, get a commercial provisioning for your response olcation and declare the bill a work expense and use it as a tax deduction.
Commercial internet has no data cap and has priority for repair over residential you fucking mong. Delete your shitposting failure and fuck off back to Sup Forums.
>Response olcation
Autocorrect go home you're drunk. I fucking typed residential location.
how the fuck do u use up 1tb?
do you live chained up in your mother's dungeon?
You stop being a cheap fuck and buy the $30/mo unlimited pack and learn to not be a victim hood bitch
I used to be with Bell Canada almost a decade ago, we had about 20 B usage (almost nothing nowadays) and you had to pay extra for every gigabyte exceeded up to 30 bucks. When you pay for the internet you pay for internet access, not cucked plans of 6 trillions/mo for x amount of shekels.
Shows/movies/chinese cartoons are the biggest waste of space
>Tfw pay $40 a month for internet without data caps
>I live in the whitest neighborhood in all of Arizona
Man I bet you only have to put up with taco Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday
Copper internet lulz
>30$/month for internet
Living the dream my friend :^)
60euro a month 200mbps download speed, 20mbps upload. Unlimited data. Suck it usa. If they ever change it back to data caps like 10 years ago i can change to another isp easily.
duno what your isp is but comcast does this same shitty data cap at 1tb. they do have an option for unlimited data for more money because jews. gotta just pay the jews. call your isp and see if they have an uncapped plan as that will likely be cheaper than $10 per 50gb
When i was in uni i paid roughly 7$ for 100/100, i can only agree with the belgian blue above med, suuuuuck it americunts. Data restrictions is fucking unheard of! Also fiber of course, Africa runs it internet on copper, and the us aswell i guess. Big fucking joke lol
Google tried with Google fiber. They got royally screwed over and are kind of giving up
mercurynews.com
>play lots of online vidya
pretty sure vidya is about latency and not super heavy on data at all, since most of the shit is client side.
European fiber masterrace.
*high five*
Get ready to be fucked even harder when the removal of net neutrality gives them more means to extract shekels from you.
>some people actually defend removing it here
Ain't my problem though.
Meanwhile at Finland
100/10 cable 9.90€/month, no caps
Unlimited(25/5 with my phone) 3G 5€/month, no caps
90% of ISPs no caps.
>10$ for every 50 fucking gigs over one tb.
How much fucking porn do you watch to make 10$ multiply that much?
$70 a month gigabit up and down here
municipal fiber ftw
I have gigabit for that price, unlimited, plus TV and phone all bundled.
I live in rural Oregon and pay $110 a month for a landline (don't get cell reception in my small valley) and 5Mbps - the fastest speed available in my area. Shit's nuts.
That's shitty, my internet is slow 50Mb/s but at least I have no cap.
Whats municipal fiber? Communism? Really makes you think...
One of the main reasons for repealing NN is that it pretty much set up total monopolistic protection for the established big players, notably AT&T and Comcast. Under NN, they already charge different tiers for speed, data usage, etc. It's also going to be up to people in every city to peter the fuck out of your local government until they allow competition, instead of awarding a monopoly to one company. Freedom is never free. The parasite elites have been rigging the game every possible way for thousands of years, this is nothing new.
I pay €24 for 50Mb/s, me and my gf don't want Tv channels.
>he thinks his isp isn't throttling him
lmao take a look at this neger
>peter the fuck
hahaha pester the fuck is what I meant but that's funnier.
Quit jerking off to porn, faggot.
Tell your kids to stop too.
No maybe they eat cum soup everyday.
>Or just purchase satellite internet
Are you kidding? They have the WORST data caps. And you have to rent the satellite equipment.
>How the fuck do you only have one ISP? Move out of niggerville.
Most zip codes now only have Comcast and maybe FiOS if you're lucky.
How much fucking data are you using? Shit it might be cheaper to get a second circuit.
>have 1tb of data per what, month?
>use it all up and some over
I can already hear the beat of truncheons, you filthy bourgeois
And latency in the seconds instead of milliseconds.
>1tb
!!!
change your ISP you dumb faggot!
get netzero is FREE!
Not sure if its bad/good but I have radio internet here and pay something like 20$ for 10Mb/s unlimited, can get cable but need permision from rest of the people in building to make conection(laws and shit).
I live in rural Maine. At the moment I have DSL 5 down 1 up (realistically I get about 3 down and .3 up). I pay 70 dollars and it's bundled with a phone that basically I can only call one town in (even though the entire state is in the same area code)...
Net Neutrality is a necessary evil because we subsidized the monopolies with taxpayer funding.
Addendum: They now offer fiber in the area but I would have to pay the connection fees which total over 200 dollars, and then I'd have to pay 70 dollars for their asinine asymmetrical speeds on fiber!
By the way, what is data cap?
We need to tell people that just setting everything equal over the internet will never be equal as long as people have only one ISP. We need to work this issue through deregulations and enforcement of anti-monopoly laws.
>Through deregulation and anti-monopoly laws
>ishiggydiggy...
But seriously, you're right. We shouldn't have allowed government subsidized networks to be placed into (((their))) hands
Go to your local library and download stuff there
>people actually defending data caps ITT
You morons probably think that "data" is some finite resource like water or oil, so it makes sense to set limits. Data is infinite. You don't pay for a limited supply per month, you pay for bandwidth, which means you get as much as you want up to a certain rate per second.
Data caps only exist to exploit people's lack of technical knowledge.
a cap on internet that isn't mobile? holy fuck
i'll enjoy my 50mb/s without cap
Typical American cuckonomics.
Internet infrastructure is a natural monopoly, just like roads. You don't need two Internets just like you don't need two competing road networks. Every monopoly must be owned by the state or we get the situation you describe.
>every monopoly must be owned by the state
Why? It makes more sense for a monopoly to be a private company that can be punished by the government if it doesn't do it's job up to the People's standards, than it does for a monopoly to be the Government, which is only answerable to itself....
Your autocorrect is a moron. Replaced residential but kept olcation?
WE CANNOT LET TECHNOLOGY KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!
Freedom. I live in mexico, get no cap for 15usd a month. Just downloaded mortal kombatxl last night all 50gb at 25mb. Chinese food a nlock away, tacos a block away, a carls jr 5 blocks away.
Try living in Australia, I pay $60 for Internet that is often barely faster than dial up. Phone is terrible too, they charge $10 for every extra gb over your data plan. Most young people are paying $100+ per month on phone bills.
And data cap for this shitty internet is 100gb per month. Probably impossible to use it all anyway with the speeds I get.
>so a lot of data being used up throughout the month
1tb is larger than my porn collection. What the fuck are you streaming?
>have tmobile
>use all i want and never get charged
Lifes good man
stop downloading 4k bbc porn
Holy shit user. If we assume that 300mb is 1 minute of 1080p, 30fps video, then you would be able to watch 82 minutes of 1080p video an hour, if you portion it out equally. Just tell them to watch their gay porn at 720 or 420p, and install networx on your computers to check your data usage
you have cox aren't you? yeah it is bs now i cant even have to limit to stream 4k netflix , fuck those coxsucker
WHO CARES NIGGER
THE ISPS ARE TRYING TO SUE THE FCC AND THEY TOOK OUT ALL THE LAWS THAT SAID THEY CANT DIFFERINTIATE BETWEEN DATA TO AND FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WEB
IN 2015 SO YOU ARE SUCKING ON OBAMAS DICK
>RACIST
YOU USE TRUMP TO PRETEND WE GIVE A FUCK AND THISWHOLE SHILLING ON HIM AND SHIT ON HERE IS THE SAMEEEE SHIT SHILLING
Congrats on having electricity again
Start streaming 4k content poorfag. You'll go over 1tb in a week.
>UNLIMITED USAGE CAPPED BANDWIDTH LIMIT
CANT YOU SUE FOR FALSE ADVERTISING
I DONT FUCKING GET IT MAN
GO BACK TO SHILLING FOR THE ISPS PRETENDING THAT THERE IS A CARE ABOUT THE WEBSITES
We're not going to subsidize your streaming hollywood propaganda onto your screen. You want to use more than a terabyte a month, you can pay for it. If you're using 33 gigs a day you need to go outside.
Remember the (((FTC))) allowed him to do that shit
Well guacamole boi you need the lights on for that to work.
HE USED THE INTENRET YOU GODAMN SHILL
>hollywood
he can do whatever he wants and not everything from hollywood is compoletely shit. its like but who knows IT WILL BE thats what YOUR PUSHING FOR FUCK YOU
for hollywood to take over the internet
literally the opposite of reality.
That's enough, carl
4k is over kill you can't even see it properly with out a fucking TV the size of your wall. That is of absolutely no use to any one using a PC.
1 Gigabit speed unlimited for ~10$/month.
Is this good?
Yet you find the resources to internet shit post.
Amazing.
>using more than 1 tb a month after purchasing a data capped internet plan
this is completely your fault, stop blaming others for your problems
Please explain. I'm dumb. Don't the big players own hundreds of millions worth of cables?
I have a 150 gig datacap with the same $10 per 50 gig after. Fucking 6 down .125 up DSL
>Why the fuck are ISPs allowed to hold monopolies on most of America. Can anything be done about this? Is anyone even trying?
Because you vote for a shitty congress and shitty president.
I'm paying 10 euros a month for 100 Mbps down, 100 Mbps up with no data cap.
>implying that the monopolies will get worse with reclassifying internet from a utility to an information service
this is completely false. right now the monopolies exist because they are treated like electricity companies here since they are regulated as a utility.
By your logic everyone should pay the same for their electric bill. Who cares if they're running a bitcoin farm, "HE USED ELECTRICITY YOU GODAMN SHILL"
Also lol at you being so reluctant to give up your Hollywood propaganda. Shekelburg is pleased.
if this shit happend. i'd hire junkies to go out and chop fiber lines in protest and leave signs telling the isp this kike shit won't last or the oven will pre heat itself.
IT HAS ZERO TO DO WITH BANDWITH AND SHIT.. they want to keep all the fucking sheckels for bonus payout. INSTEAD OF BUYING NEWER SERVERS...
its the same as walmart firing people for overtime, to keep their year end bonus based off payroll being under target.
t. console peasent
Ive lived all over the world and USA is the biggest shithole when it comes to internet, its amazing how fucking sheep people are that they agree to pay 70 dollars a month for 200 mb with a 1tb data cap.
the first time you call their service you also have to pay 120 dollars for installation.
Burger, there's "business class" internet. No caps on many providers so you don't have to worry about that stuff. Also when there's an outage the service between consumer and business internet is a night and day difference. They'll treat you better.
I know you're probably being deliberately obtuse but i'll reply anyway.
Once the infrastructure is built there's basically no cost to the cable company to provide additional data. So whether you use 1gb/month or 1tb/month it doesn't matter. Electricity costs money to generate so using 1000kWh actually costs more than 1kWh.
biggest bullshit I've read in this thread, fucking poor fuck, how about you buy a 4k tv/monitor and see for yourself.
buy an unlimited plan you poorfag
He has a FAMILY. Obviously each and every one of them needs their own porn bandwidth.
what they call "business class" here is the standard in europe and many other countries.
