>This is the end. My only friend, the end.
Looks like I get to spend tomorrow complaining to corporate HQ about this. If they don't remove the cap it will be time to complain to the corporation commission and BBB. My only other options are DSL, microwave, or satellite. Thanks 2017!
I hope none of you other cox customers will stand for this.

good luck

which is exactly why the cap exists, they know this
>"I have to pay to be a burden on someone else's copper lines? Unfair!"
kys op, shit thread.
If all of Cox's ports get saturated by an IoT botnet's shitflood would that help? I mean it's not like they have that much capacity in the first place.
Just curiosity, how do you spend more then 1 terabyte of internet in 1 month?
move to a non shit state / city
You are the problem, not OP.
What the hell did you do in April?
not OP but i have a comcast 1TB cap. With how much video streams and torrents i download i've gone over it twice in the past 2 months now. Had to put a seedbox at my office to offload some of the data usage.
Nah, I'm getting off Mr. Bones' wild ride with these scumbags.
The original service agreement didn't have any caps whatsoever in the fine print. This is altering the signed agreement without prior consent. Why don't you have a problem with this?
5 hours a day streaming 4k from Netflix will add up to around 1 terabyte. Add to that general browsing, YouTube, Spotify, torrenting and it easily adds up to a lot.
1 terabyte per month*
stfu you fucking faggot
I appreciate the offer, but I think mass customer response in the form of complaints or termination of service would be of more use.
There were no caps when the agreement was signed many years ago.
Cloud backup.
Oh look it's a hired cox pajeet, why don't you go suck on your moms crusty clit
>datacaps
which shit place is this
Those lines have several tens of terabytes worth of bandwidth, there's literally no reason for (((bandwidth caps))) other than companies being jews and the (((FCC))) letting them. Even third world countries have better internet than this shithole.

What does it stand for
>The original service agreement didn't have any caps whatsoever in the fine print. This is altering the signed agreement without prior consent. Why don't you have a problem with this?
you literally gave your prior consent by agreeing to the contract with "Cox reserves the right to modify any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement" right there. are you literally too retarded to read or something? commie fags btfo
should've bought the unlimited streaming package dumb goy
>there were no caps...
So? move to a non shit state / city.
Cox has started doing this nationwide, Comcast already does it. Welcome to cable monopolies.
Fact work for a small ISP myself
I upload a lot on my internet, usually about 600GB a month, but I only have 10 up
>"Cox reserves the right to modify any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement"
So, what, Cox can change the agreement so you have to provide your wife for sex next month?
This "hurr durr we can change agreements at any time" clauses should be flat out illegal.
>Even third world countries has better internet
Yep, East yurop does.
20€/month, 1Gb/s, no caps
once again, the only good thing about time warner (now spectrum)
They are free to change their terms at any time, that doesn't mean customers are forbidden to complain about or find services through another provider. Or is it in your world customers are slaves who must accept anything a company demands?
Actually to be truthful I work for Risebroadband. We are the largest wisp in the USA. We took all of our unlimited plans away. Although we have a mega fuck ton of congestion caused by streaming. We should not hook up new cx, but corporate wants new installs. If we don't get new installs we do not get our business loans or new investors. So unlike the fiber providers we absolutely have to be shady as fuck.
Nothing cox did was wrong. You signed the contract without reading, you used the data it is your fault 100%.
Don't be stupid next time.
Satellite has throttle caps. And they're slow and suck if you live in rainy weather. Don't ever get satellite
It probably is if people actually sued them over it, but good luck not getting it drawn out over a decade of legal battles by all kinds of fuckery from their lawyers.

And going where exactly...? None of the other cable providers are any better. Every month I get fucked over by comcast just as much as you. And yeah okay, you have DSL, microwave, and satellite like you mentioned but the speeds are shit, not that cable in America is much better mind you but you really don't have a choice.
Cable is a monopoly. You have no other options, you have only the illusion of choice. And don't think you're gonna go complain to the government either because they're deep in Cox and Comcast's pockets. They will never listen to you.
Will companies ever amend a contract if you do your due diligence before you sign and point out parts you have objections to? Or will they just basically tell you to get fucked, you want our service you sign our contract as is?
Motherfuckers, I live out in the country now and the best I can do is a fucking Verizon Hotspot on 3G.
Hell, HughesNet/Dish/etc will charge you for each additional gig over 5 or 10 or whatever the limit is.
This is quite relevant.

Its either cucks - it's users or cocks - the ones gong up your ass.
I'd wager noone in the year of our Lord 2017 use 10GB/mm. Loading Facebook every day for five hours normies use it makes you go over this.
Also, you have no idea how a network works right? You think there are, goverment funded mind you, fucking gears in routers?

>There were no caps when the agreement was signed many years ago.
Are you sure? Cox always had data caps, but soft caps where they don't do shit about it unless you go over your caps multiple times.
poor coe
>we will notify you via browser
i like how this isnt the actual topic of concern
The ISP is the literal man in the middle of your connections. They can only notify you when you use http requests.
only if you're using their DNS
With the obligatory Cox up your ass jokes out of the way be sure to post back what happens if you do decide to fight.
When Comcast introduced 1TB limits here I didn't get diddlydick, not even an email, I had to hear about it on the news then dig wayyy the fuck deep in the billing menus to finally find the meter.
>cox
more like cucks right?
I've never experienced data caps in my life. And I lived in several countries.
Americans truly are cucked.
I downloaded Gears of War 4 twice (new hard drive shit out) (100GB) and also seeded my vast collection of torrents all month because im such a nice guy.

Bull fucking shit. Just because you didn't read your ToS doesn't mean there was no data cap.
pics or gtfo
>data caps
Is this American thing? Because it's fucking weird to have data caps in ebin land of free market and cumpetition.
americans used to laugh at the idea of a data cap. this is well deserved.
fuck. i pay $15/Mo for all you can eat 500mbps DL internet and dvb-c cable
then again....i'm an eastern europoor

are you retarded? there is no free shit. just payed by the taxpayer
And? Murrica's oversized military budget is also funded by taxpayer money.

>ISP notice about your data usage

Considerate of them!
>"I get to pay more to utilize the limited connection I pay monthly to transfer the indefinite resource known as data? Sounds reasonable!"
Not to mention, Cox (and most ISPs) are overbuilt on purpose so that you can still browse your chinese wooden blocks during prime time. Your argument is in no way supported by the available bandwidth speeds of Cox, users of Netflix on Cox, or traffic transferred on Cox to other ISPs. All are on an upward trend, and have no sign of slowing down past a nuclear apocalypse.
So, while you're shilling for Cox, be sure to suck on some fat ones for OP. Thanks.
>data service is named cox
>OP takes it in the ass
well deserved

>living in france

thats if he doesnt get run over walking home or blown up
I refuse to use any internet service that I could bring up in casual conversation anywhere in the US, and have people recognize it. My speed may be underwhelming for the price ($45 for 19 mbit/sec) but I have limitless bandwidth.
This. Your goverment decided to fund suffering of kebabs in the middle of nowhere just to grab some oil while people die of untreated cancer on street.
My poor goverment pays free uni (i completed btw) and free healthcare even for hobos.
It is just matter of priorities. In the most capitalism sence you dont deserve to live if you cant afford health care. But then again, why do you even pay taxes if it gives you nothing in return? Fuck you dont even have paid maternity leave. And it is crucial for capitalism to birth new workers to replace the poor ones dying from cancer.
>And it is crucial for capitalism to birth new workers to replace the poor ones dying from cancer.
wrong. you can just import millions if nignogs
Why does your mere existence give you the right to other people's time?
>Fuck you dont even have paid maternity leave.
Don't get me wrong. I agree with you mostly. I think that a society should look after it's own and think this right-wing meme is just the folly of low IQ, basement dwelling retards.
However payed maternity leave? If ever there was a "bad" socialist program it's that one. Fuck.
Seeding a lot of torrents from home. If my isp suddenly introduced a data cap again (they won't) I'd blow through it in a week easily.
I think society does a fine job looking after each other without needing to pay government bureaucrats 40% of the money I "donate" to needy people.
Welfare sounds wonderful in practice, but the way its executed is just retarded. If a private charity can have 1% administrative costs, there is no reason for a government entity to have 40% administrative costs.
>$10 per 50GB of data
Holy fuck that's expensive, if you are easily breaking 1TB charging $10 per subsequent 50GB is very harsh indeed.
You Americans really get it rough out there, I'd be fucking livid if I had to limit my usage as I pay £50/m ($65) for 220Mb.
Is it lack of incentive from the government to improve infrastructure or lack of government regulation to stop anti-competitive practice? Maybe it's both?
>live in a country where data cap exist
Of course it's expensive. Meanwhile, I pay 45 bucks for 100mbit/sec connection with no bandwidth limitations. If I wanted to pay 114 per month, I could get Gbit connection without bandwidth limitation. Nothing like living in a town that doesn't believe in granting monopoly rights.
>Is it lack of incentive from the government to improve infrastructure or lack of government regulation to stop anti-competitive practice? Maybe it's both?
It is mostly regulatory capture where cable companies got the local government to pass rules and regulations that make laying cables expensive AFTER they had already laid theirs.
Well, there is a lot of wrong with current systems. Like voting each 4 years. That makes every politician to not give a fuck about what will happen in the next ~10 years because at that time he will be out of politics with a lot of money.
So yeah, importing niggos might work in the short term.
What is the difference between taxation and theft? The taxation is voluntary
Oh wait, it is not.
>you can leave
No i cant. That is simply not an option. Also with gov having monopoly on violence i am as average citizen utterly screwed if i decide that the system i have been born into is bad.
If you honestly believe that being born in country gives you 0 rights and only obligations to pay taxes and are happy with that, than congratularions, you have been brainwashed by school/media very well.
The gov is here for us, not the other way around. We made gov so the life is easier, safer with guaranteed boundaries everybody follows because it is advantage to do so.
And having cancer when every health insurance company says you
>fuck you, we dont insure ill people, we only allow healthy young people to have it
you can just go and die like human waste you are. Who cares you worked hard for 20 years? Just die already.
We have that. You can choose between 6 months to ~18 months. The amount of money you recieve is almost the same, just your taxation lowers.
A lot of studies shows how important it is to cuddle with newborn both for the kid and the mother.
>maybe it works because we dont have niggers and gypsies still have so low number that the system hasnt died yet
Why is such anti-competitive practice allowed? How were such laws allowed to pass in the first place?
>Why is such anti-competitive practice allowed?
Basically, because the government says so.
>How were such laws allowed to pass in the first place?
Lobbying.
Local government or federal?
Here in the UK the government has been subsidising fibre infrastructure massively for 10 years, now it's pretty rare to find a place that doesn't get a fibre connection when previously the defacto standard was running your internet connection through copper wiring installed before WW2.
I'm already seeing FTTP 1Gb in my city but it's restricted to flat blocks that are financially viable.
Do a class action. Fire and forget. I'd throw my name on it.
>Local government or federal?
Local, but the federal government doesn't really get involved because they aren't really considered "monopolies" since people have access satellite, DSL, and dial-up.
>I'm already seeing FTTP 1Gb in my city but it's restricted to flat blocks that are financially viable.
I also have fiber available through my local phone company though I am still using cable because it is $5/month cheaper than a similar plan using fiber.
