Who the fuck cares about 10Gbit/s? With data caps, there is nothing I am downloading on a mobile device that is perceptibly faster than downloading it at 1/1000 of that speed
This isn’t about 10gbps which is the point. It’s also not really about mobile. The packages they are offering are mostly cable connections (with a side of mobile).

Imagine having data caps in 2024
And this a problem only in the monopolistic culture of the US. I can’t name a single EU State with broadband data cap.
Uhh… Germany would like to have a word
Most carriers do offer some uncapped plan, I think, but it’s expensive and not the default
I am talking about landline providers.
Ah. Well the first comment in this chain talked about mobile devices, so I was assuming we were talking about mobile data plans
Portugal.
Imagine it? Living it.
I can get rid of mine…
For an extra $50/month
I have 8/8 gbps with no caps… quantum fiber (lumen, CenturyLink). The speed is amazing.
What’s “quantum” about it?
Sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t, but you only know when you check and go to use it.
Its cost
$185? It’s not that expensive for 8/8 IMO… 1gig cable is like $300
Yeah, that’s not bad. I pay $70 for just 1/1, so…
That’s the name of the company. https://www.quantumfiber.com/ It’s owned/operated by Lumen/Centurylink.
The electrons.
fibers carry light particles I guess

The point is for dense areas, so theres enough bandwidth to share
No one needs 100Mbps on their mobile data 99% of the time.
10th generation, not 10gbps download speed.
