    In my European country, there are no bandwidth caps for DSL or fibre connections. But if you’re not in a town (which most of us aren’t) and can only get internet via a 4g (or rarely 5g) connection, you have to live with a shitty 700GB cap, which is fucking ludicrous.

      700 fucking gigabytes over 5g? That is fucking ludicrous. Around here you’re lucky to get a 7gb cap on a 5g plan but I think some people have cellular caps as high as 40gb.

        I was talking about broadband at home via a 4g/5g router, not on a phone. They offer plans specifically for people who want internet at home, but who can’t get DSL/fibre.

        Phones usually have a lower cap, like 50>200GB. I get 50GB with my phone provider for instance.
