It feels so wrong that this is still a problem for so many around the world.
In Finland, completely unlimited data is the standard.
My biggest gripe with my internet connection at home is that I have to upgrade to the 20€/m plan to get 200m upload, because while the 10€/m plan comes with 300m down, it "only" has 50 up, making it quite slow to grab a few gigs of media files off my home server from outside my wifi. The building has fiber, there is NO REASON for the connection to be asymmetric!
But that feels like such a small problem compared to having my use of the internet rationed like it's some limited resource we have to be careful "consuming".
Reading about how the ISPs of the US literally just took money from the federal government, earmarked for internet infrastructure and literally did nothing with it, is infuriating!
Just admit it's for uploading moe to lemmy :p
shhh
I pay 85 USD monthly, for Gig service down and get a whopping 40 up -_-
Damn, that makes no fucking sense.
My situation used to be similar. The old plans went up to a gig down (now they go past even that) but the upload was the same 50 no matter what plan you got. Complete bullshit, average joe wouldn't even notice the difference, it's literally just a big "fuck you" to power users.
Not really a US thing, most carriers here offer unlimited data. More of a Canadian and European issue.
They offer it, yes.
But in Finland it's difficult to get a plan that doesn't have unlimited data.
Even prepaid sims work by deducting a cost off the balance each day you use data, but the actual amount used can be as much as you like for the duration of that day.
