I remember when in Internet didn't have data caps. But att and Verizon had them in the increasing smartphone market... And ISPs like Comcast (someone who was already running at like 90% profit margin) saw that and was like "so there is a way to get more money!

Internet in America is a joke, still. High cost, low speeds, no competition. I have 1000Mbps down, 35Mbps up and I have the privilege of paying $136/month. Which is wild considering all these cloud services.
