xfinity will advertise 100 Tbps lines with the abysmal 1.5 TB/mo data cap anyway
"you can drive this super sport car for $ per month - but only for 10 miles"
I hate Comcast as much as the next guy but I feel like 1.5TB a month would be reasonable. Even at those speeds you probably wouldn't be downloading more, just downloading whatever you do now but faster.
E: I was gonna ask why this was so controversial but I just checked my routers stats and, oh yeah I've only downloaded around half a terabyte over 3 segregated VLANs in the past 2 months. I've uploaded almost double that which is baffling to me though. Even still I don't see why anyone would be downloading anything more that a terabyte in a month unless your one of those data hoarders, which fair but.. I'll stop my rambling.
Why the fuck would I want that speed if I can only fully use it for less than a second before hitting the data cap? I'd rather have 100 times less speed with 100 times more cap, so I can actually fully use it however I want.
Also it's just ridiculous anyway because I don't even think hard drive write speeds are that fast.
I think you meant no data cap.
