Hey /g/! I did this thread in /int/ but something tells me that I should have done in this board instead.
In Brazil, the biggest internet provider will change thr way they provide services by capping the internet after an ammount of data was being used.
Today, its free to use. There is no limit in download or upload. You can use as much as you want because you already paid for it.
This company is saying that this is a worldwide phenomena, and that lots of countries are already capping the internet after you have used the ammount of data you contracted for that month. I know this is a widespread thing in mobile services, but for homes, its new to me.
Can anyone here confirm if this is really happening?The CEO said that in New Zealand is like that already.
If you guys could anwser this too it would be cool:
>Your country
>How much it costs your internet in dollars per month
>What is your upload speed
>What is your download speed
>Do you have a limit to use and if yes, of how much data
>How does this affect you when using services like Youtube, NETFLIX or downloading games
>If your country dont have this, there are talking about doing this in the near future
Thank you bros.

if you're actually talking with the guy, point out that just because other companies are greedy and unreasonable is no excuse for his to be that way too
Ive had data caps for years now.

Of course the government provided free internet is slow as fuck around 5-10MB/s and I don't know if anyone even uses that in their homes, but god dammit I'm glad for that law.
Think I have that on my phone actually, it's good enough for that.
Then again our internet speeds seem to have capped around 100-350MB/s and haven't budged in ages, so there's that.
We should definitely have 1GB/s internet by now.
Currently paying something like 10€ for 100/10MB/s and no, there are no damn caps on this one.

Oh, and the price is 0€ for the first month then it's 9,90€ for next three months and then 39,90€ for 20 months and after that it's 49,90€/Month.

The provider is named Anvia and they actually recently upgraded all of the 100m customers to 250m and the monthly cost remained the same.
>>53972300
This will be a nationalwide phenomena.
EVERYBODY will have data caps.
And they are not even big ones like 200Gb monthly. I think they will start with 20Gb going up to 50Gb.

The biggest problem here is the national telephone company has a monopoly on phone lines and their customer service is shit. I pay them for the line rental and ADSL services and a private ISP for the data.

We did have limits in the *past* (at least 10 years ago AFAIR) but they were dropped because there's actual competition between ISPs (and constant investments in the infrastructure).

>>53973042
the seedbox is part of a server in another country. You pay a monthly fee for it. It has a torrent client you use like on your computer but it is a webpage. You FTP the files to your computer and this is the only time your home internet quota is used. Some torrent sites (private trackers) need you to keep a good share ratio, so the seedbox does that. I get 4TB per month of sharing out of it, which is much more than the 600gig I could use at home. I also get a VPN included with the seedbox for free. Shop around, there are many providers in lots of countries and the prices vary.

Also we have capped limits but rather than extra data being shaped afterwards it's usually charged at a premium. Although our main telco had a free internet day the other day. Some guy downloaded almost 1tb on his own.,

So you could just switch isp every 4-5 months and save a lot of money in the long run.

Sweden.
We haven't had capped service since the mid 90s. We have free peering between ISPs in Sweden, as agreed by all large internet exchanges here. They pay a small fee to have their routers connected to the exchange room.
Currently bandwidth trades at $35 per 320TB. So when they set GB caps on you like in Americas, its a laugh.
>>53973561
Thanks for laughing at our suffering :(
Better start downloading all the porn I can before the cap.
>>53973491
I guess it's possible, but I have never heard of anyone doing something like that.
Also many of the deals are like 9-20€ a month for 100MB/s internet, so the savings you'd make are pretty minimal.
Might as well go and collect bottles, you'd make a lot more money from that on a monthly basis, than you'd save from ISP hopping a year.
>>53973612
Do both?
>>53973584
Caps are just a scam to get more money without the need to upgrade hardware for the actual speeds that they offer. Which is BS as hardware pricing has been dropping hard ever since Huawei started disrupting Cisco's optical transport sales.

Oddly enough, it seems to primarily depend on whether or not there's competition in the local market.
In the USA, most Internet providers have some bullshit agreement with the municipality that prevents any competition. Historically, this was necessary for a phone company to invest in building the infrastructure (poles and lines). Now, we're trapped with this weird system where, generally, some utility company owns the pole and dictates what goes up, even though the investment was paid off decades ago.
Trains are a similar story. Train companies own these unique long, narrow stretches of land, and they ultimately dictate what happens on the rails.
Anyway, caps tend to come about because user growth has slowed. It's a win/win for them: more income and it staves off any need to invest in infrastructure (e.g. faster switches).

Standard: You're going to exceed the limit with moderate to heavy use from ONE PERSON.
Business: No problems or complaints here really. Keep your bill paid, and you get an UPTIME guarantee. That's right folks, not only do you get to download and upload as much as you fucking want, but you can actually ASK FOR A REFUND or compensation if the connection is down for too long. ^_^

We've had it but it wasn't even admitted to the customers until they'd exceed the limit, and they'd fine you. There were lawsuits. The companies won every time.

Here the internet providers also make bundles with cable and landlines.
The more of the bundle you get, the more discounts you get (despise the fact that the ammount of money you have to pay increases).
What I think its happening is because they are loosing so much cable services to Netflix and so on that by limiting the ammount of data, they get more money ( from those who pass the monthly limit), dont need to invest in new technologies AND kill the streaming services, all in just one hit.
I really hope this dont goo forward, but even the Agency for Telephones said that would be good.
It would be good for them that get paid by the taxes of said companies.

I doubt it, but you never know. They would probably lose clients and the competition would profit from this, by offering no data caps. I don't see all ISPs creating a cartel for this. They would get rekt by authorities and by the EU. The EU is very tough on companies when it comes to consumer rights.

The company that regulates the providers here in Brazil, Anatel, said that this is good for the consumers because some uses more, some uses less Gb's of internet, so those who consumes less will pay less for the service...

Ah and by the way, for example the provider I use now, if this shit really happens, the biggest plan would be 130Gb/month, and their best plan is 300Mb/s I believe, I am using 15Mbps, so my limit will probably be around 50Gb...

Nah the trend in NZ is away from data caps man. They used to be on every plan but all the ISPs are getting rid of them.
The government forced the main telco to split off their infrastructure business a few years back so there would be more competition between ISPs, so now the lines are owned by a company that wholesales to consumer ISPs and now there is cutthroat competition on speed and price.
Sounds like the guy you talked to is full of shit
>>53972063
That's been standard practice in the USA for a long time people just weren't consciously aware of it.
I work for an ISP in the US and we recently had to put data caps on our services. The simple fact is that people are using more and more data every year and sometimes the network can't keep up. D
Data caps are ISPs attempts to stifle the minority of heavy users on a network in order to provide QoS for the majority of average web users.
I'm not saying it's right. Just saying what it is.
>>53978420 again, just re read the OP. The CEO is straight up lying as I explained in the last post. Also NZ is only connected to the rest of the world by one or two cables so if we can have unmetered 100mb/50mb internet plans for NZD$100 a month I don't see why Brazil shouldn't.

Basically, places that had caps before are going unlimited because there's competition, and places that had unlimited are getting caps because the providers have amalgamated again and realized that if they conspire they can gouge people. This will flip in another 10-15 years; it's cyclic.

Limiting the bandwidth is common only for mobile internet connection, like for smartphone contracts and those UTMS-USB sticks you can buy to have internet on your laptop when you're not at home. (It's usually 500MB or 1GB per month and then they limit the bandwidth to acoustic modem speed, or you pay extra.)

They had a cap 9 years ago for their "Unlimited" service it was 500 gigs.

The only existing cap is on mobile connections.
And they won't ever do that again because of the way they provide services.
We use a Single Coax cable for TV , net and phone services so capping it would be highly counter productive.

I've always had an ISP since dial-up modem days and have gone through maybe a dozen different ones over the years. I've never had an ADSL plan with any of them that was unlimited, they were all capped with a download limit. Almost all ISPs counted uploads towards downloads and used metric (1,000 rather than 1,024) to calculate data usage.

Data caps are nothing more than a money grab.
Too many ISPs are vertically integrated, meaning your ISP is also the same company that sells you cable tv, or owns other 'old'.
So when they start to lose money from cord cutters they want to make up more revenue by making 'data caps' under some moronic guise of people paying their fair share bullshit.

Australia. Every ISP. Since ever. This country has literally zero concept of paying only for speed.
>>53983270
Whaaaat?
I pay 20 for 100mb down and 10mb up. How?
>>53983282
>controlled by Murdoch?
Oh, if fucking only.
See, it's much worse than that.
All our fiber network is run by the government.
Hence why it's being pathetically slowly and so fucking expensively that we should be getting 500mbit but the default is 50 with 100 costing extra.
And that's for the 3 or 4 people in the country that can actually access the fucking thing, the rest of us are stuck on copper lines paying for '20mbit' with absolutely nobody receiving it because telstra, the ones who own it all, don't want to spend a cent fixing it because they're not allowed to do fiber themselves so all those lines will mean absolutely nothing in a few years.

Renzi's cabinet just start a plan of FTTH /FTTC.
New Zealand.
About $109 NZD (with landline telephone).
50 MBPS Up.
100 MBPS Down.
Provider is Spark (formerly TelecomNZ)
Pretty happy with my plan, i don't use my landline as much as my cellphone, so i could upgrade to the 200 MBPS plan for the price i am paying now if i drop my landline and then get a further discount if i have a mobile plan with them.
I used to have VDSL capped at 150 GB'S but last year they replaced all the plans above 80 GB'S with Unlimited then about a month later Fibre Optic was ready, and they just brought out the new 200 MBPS plan, lowering the 100 to the price i paid for VDSL.
td;lr Glad i am no longer capped as trying to stream/download was a nightmare, almost as if i had Dial Up again.

Because there are enough braindead cunts in this country that they decided to elect the ones who were going 'lets ruin the econony all for the sake of paying off 'debts' that nobody would ever collect!'
Now it's going to be 2025 before the majority of people even have 25mbit, which by then will be too slow anyway, all while our dollar is currently worth 70 US cents.
Before they were elected it was 95-100.

I call this graphic total bullshit.
I lived in Belgium and their internet plans are utter shit.
And I live in Romania right now and it's like nobody here can have a connection of 50mbps, because nobody offers such a low speed. You can only choose from plans like: 100mbps both upload and download, up to 1 gbps. So such a low average speed is not possible in Romania, because nobody sells any plans under 100mbps. And most people have at least 200-300mbps plans.
Norwegian here. Don't think any of the big ISPs have a cap here. It's only common on phones, and even then you can pay extra for no cap. I'm getting 75/75 for 75 NOK. It's a special deal for students living in my apartment complex since we used to get free Internet. I think 500 NOK is the usual price for 75/75. Haven't read anything in the news about adopting data caps either, so I don't think it's gonna happen here.

Heh, 5mbit doesn't even qualify as broadband here.

He's wrong, he meant 5Mbps, not 5MB/s.

I didn't even realise uncapped plans were a common thing. In Australia we've had capped plans pretty much exclusively for as long as I can remember.
>>53985164
Even third world countries don't have caps these days. Someone is shafting you hard.
>>53985351
Australia dont have underwater cables to connec to the continens.
Since they rely on satelite and radio, and these are expensive, this explain why they are being capped.
I think NZ and Hawaii must be like that too.

huefag here, who are you talking about? oi? gvt? can i get a link to some news site? this is fucking bullshit. figures they'd start fucking with our internet sooner or later. i thought the marco civil da internet was meant to help stop that kind of shit? god. i'm so fucking pissed right now
USA
Time Warner Cable
70$/mo
~5mbps upload
~50mbps download
No limit
Bandwidth is pretty slow. A single download will cause lag for video games. Netflix or YouTube or hulu does not cause lag. This is -with- QOS.
No talk right now.
Bonus: In November time Warner will be doing a free upgrade to 100mbps for their 50mbps customers. I hope this includes upload to 25 because 5 is fucking UNUSABLE.

But you have one of the worlds largest international fiber nodes in Singapore. Get a cable up there and you will have 160ms to any place in the world.
Hawaii has great connections, its the node to Japan/Hong Kong. NZ is out of luck, since its dependent on Aus.

It does NOT have a datacap, BUT it says in the EULA that if needed, after 200GB of downloaded data, you MAY experience a slowdown in your service.
Never have experienced it though.
>>How does this affect you when using services like Youtube, NETFLIX or downloading games
Never happened
>>If your country dont have this, there are talking about doing this in the near future
Maybe if in the future they have saturated the international throughput, they start to cap or downgrade our services.

I feel your pain BRo, with the new rules soon I am going to be really fucked, my average use is about 3x the cap for my plan and there is no other alternative here, I don't even torrent anymore for years.

There are no such talks for home connections, any company that tried this would probably be committing suicide. It's common on mobile connections though

Says 5Mbps (cheapest option)
no, but speed is limited
doesn't effect me, I never get close to maxing things with the few .txt files I send and websites I visit.
Not much, but there are lots of rumors which I believe to be real as the infrastructure can't support the load if everyone actually used all the bandwidth they had. Capping speed or data amount are just different ways to try and deal with the same issue. Very few talk about capping data, but capping speed has been shown to be happening more and more.
Also in the old college dorms is was capped at 20GB a day but we had 1Gbps to 100Gbps depending on where you connected, helps when college is built on an main line node with the newest cables.
>USA

Charter used to have a loosely enforced cap but they quietly did away with it and decided it would be better to enforce on a case by case basis. Whatever that means.
I could get 100x10 service instead but I don't really need it yet.
