Hey everyone,

I have a contract with UPC for access to a fiber optic connection. In the contract it is stated that the amount of Internet data transferred is not measured and there are no limits on this issue. However, I would like to ask if this is actually the case? Can I download for example 100 TB per month without any problems? How does this work in practice?

    Wait, is there place where capped data on landline internet are a thing ? That said, I would expect that if you use it “professionally” they’ll tell you to get a professional contract and not the cheap one ?

      I just recently found out that Americans do in fact have data caps even on landline. Recommend watching this episode of Patriot Act, it made me realize just how shitty ISPs are in America, all in the name of profit.

      The only thing ISPs adjust is your bandwidth, offices with many computers need more and have to pay up.

      And yeah, @[email protected]. Unlimited means unlimited. Go download your… whatever it is you’re downloading.

      My grandparents have a capped plan of like 60GB last time I was round there, I assume it’s some sorta ultra cheap plan given they don’t use it a whole bunch it makes sense for them. UK.
