  • Data cap never made sense because ISPs pay for pipe size, not total of data. Someone using 20mbps 24/7 will use a lot more data but cause a lot less congestion than someone using 300mbps for 1hr at peak hour every day.

    If their infra is undersized, they should at least not count data between midnight and 8am toward the data cap since the pipes are mostly sitting idles
