No. I’m talking about technology infrastructure, the reason the EU/UK is so dramatically far behind the USA in data center development.

Sure buddy.

I've seen you yanks bitch about Internet costs where one month for a capped data pack costs more than my entire year of unlimited access.

I'm going through anything from 100gb to 500 a month assuming no new games have come out, paying pennies for it and it never slows down. If it does drop for any noticeable length of time I don't pay for that month.

And I can chose from a huge amount of providers on infrastructure owned by multiple different companies, not just one monopoly pissing in your pocket and telling you its raining.

…what? How is that relevant to data centers? I’m talking about the actual technology infrastructure from a business perspective, not consumer lol. Consumer experience is a product of marketplaces.

Capped data packs? Lol is this 2005? I suppose you’re another Euro that assumes all Americans are poor and without healthcare? The only people that use that shit are the poors in like the Midwest and shit.

Today I learned ALL Comcast subscribers and various other massive telco companies are ONLY used by poor people. Put on your clown mask now bro 🤡

Comcast has a 1.2TB data cap?

Correct, it’s best to Google claims you make on the internet before shouting them out. Data caps are the norm in the US.

I’ve not had a data cap in the USA since 2005. 1.2TB/month is hardly even something I’d consider as a cap, since less than 1% of use cases would ever come close.

Incorrect again, during the pandemic when everyone and their dog was working from home Comcast was forced to temporarily lift the limit since so many people were exceeding their data caps. 1.2 TB isn’t even enough for a household that streams lots of 4K films. I also love your moving goalposts, quite the redditor. First it was, there are no data caps in the US except poor dumb rural people, and now it’s oh wait, I DONT HAVE DATA CAPS, and thus no one else should have them either!!! Maybe travel outside your house idk.
