[RANT] I pay $70/mo for this privilege

I thought data caps for home internet were a thing of the past…
I’ve somewhat recently moved back to a very rural area of the Midwest. Small town. No stop lights. Biggest businesses other than the bars are Casey’s, Subway, and Dollar General.
And we have one ISP (not counting DSL) — Mediacom. When we first signed up, I had to go with the second service tier. But not because of speeds, but so I could have a reasonable 1 TB/mo data cap.
Lucky me, they increased the cap to 1.5 TB. 🙄
I hope that in my lifetime I can see ISPs regulated as a public utility.

That's good deal. What ISP? (Sounds like local ISP)
It really isn't. If that's the UK that's a terrible deal you can pay half the amount with another provider and get three or four times the speed.
I assume OP is out in the middle of nowhere. Probably Wales.
Do you live in different UK than me? Never seen those price to speed before.
Virgin media right now are offering £50 per month for one gigabit. That's nine times the speed for less than half the price again.
Or Sky do £30 per month for 250 megabit.
Both are better options than what you're paying.
Those are shit deal, can get full fiber 1gig for £30. £17 for 300mbps is definitely a good deal.
