ISP data caps/limits and long haul

Take it with a pinch of salt. It's not an official xbox channel.

I don't know what you need, the woman speaking is the same presenting the "Inside XBOX" gamescon on the official XBOX youtube channel.

Isn't that enough?

I stand corrected then. I saw the others are gamers and are talking about it like any other place like pcgamer would, and those usually have inaccuracies compared to more dedicated flight sim news portals 🙂

It really boggles my mind that data caps are still a thing in many countries these days...🤔 I wonder what's the main reason?

The reason in areas where the ISP actually has the capacity for unlimited service and still caps it, is that it's a way to offer tiered service for extra profit margin. What else?  😉

For example, the ISP in my area of Northwest Washington State USA offers a choice of tiered residential service rates in increments of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 250 Mbps, 500 Mbps, and "Gig speed." All at different monthly rates. The two lowest rates are data capped with no option for unlimited data (i.e. an incentive to upgrade to a higher tier).

The higher three rates are data capped unless you spend an extra $10/month charge for unlimited data. It's just a way to tack on an extra fee to the monthly bill.

It's "all about the Benjamins" as they say here (Benjamin Franklin's face is on the $100 bill).
