January 3, 20206 yr Here paying 30€/mo (33$/mo) for unlimited 1gbps internet (France). And 15€/mo for unlimited 4G data. US ISPs really seems from another age... Edited January 3, 20206 yr by divide

January 3, 20206 yr We moved one town over this Summer and went from Comcast with 1TB/month datacap to Centurylink fiber with NO datacap, and a massive 1Gb/s in BOTH directions. So much better. This is the problem with most cities in the U.S. - there's only 2 hard-wired ISP options available in most places, and they don't really compete. One of them is cheap (phone company) and one of them is fast (cable company). Edited January 3, 20206 yr by TechguyMaxC
January 3, 20206 yr Thankfully, my ISP has no data caps or bandwidth throttling based on usage. I get to use my 250 down 125 up as much as I want to.

Ad blockers remove the elements of the ad directly from the domain object tree, which is a structure the browser builds based on HTML document of the web page. Since your browser only downloads content referenced in the domain object tree, the ad being blocked is never downloaded. If it were only blocking the display of the ad in your browser then websites wouldn't know you are running an ad blocker, but they do, and that's why they implore you to white list their site with those pesky popups when they detect ads being blocked. It's because they don't get ad revenue when you run a blocker.
January 4, 20206 yr Commercial Member Well... my bandwidth monitor would disagree with that statement in that I can sit on certain websites and watch literally thousands of ads get blocked and watch the byte transfers increase with the ad count. So... I'm pretty certain the ads are still getting through onto the computer before being discarded. Ed Wilson Mindstar AviationMy Playland - I69

Unless there is a monopoly in your area like mine. Or if all the options have the same exact caps.
