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

Most carriers do offer some uncapped plan, I think, but it's expensive and not the default

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).
11 0 ReplyThe point is for dense areas, so theres enough bandwidth to share
No one needs 100Mbps on their mobile data 99% of the time.
