I reckon it’s been a good ten years since I had a data cap on my home internet. These days I pay £30 a month for unlimited 900mbps fibre and it’s wonderful.
Thank your regulators then. There are very much still a thing. Not because they need to be. But because they allow ISPs to make more money by setting arbitrary limits.

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
I don’t see why it matters though? You’re not gonna be playing the game on your phone with limited data
My Starlink plan is 50gb per month!
Because my ISP charges $50/mo extra for the “privilege” of having unlimited data.
That’s insane!
That’s more than I pay for unlimited gigabit here wtf 😭
‘Land of the free’, init.
I love where I live, but my biggest miss on moving was leaving my fiber network behind and moving to Cox monopoly territory.
I’m in the same boat. Their only competition where I am is DSL, other than 5G/satellite.
Mine too.
My biggest pet peeve is that they sell you a service, at a certain speed, that you can only use for like 50 hours a month…
Buddy, today you’re going to learn about data caps.

I agree with you. They’ve even become a level of corporate governance with the whole copyright issue.
They still a thing? Not sure they’re that common in the UK at least 🤷🏻♂️
