Isn't this illegal? I mean you have a contract and they can't simply change their offer to you without you agreeing to the new terms.

That's real shitty. Why do consumers let them get away with putting an artificial cap on something like this?

Not OP but comcast did this to me about a year ago. I get 4 months every year where I'm allowed to go over, then I start paying penalties
>>320792778
Big corporations don't like competition.
>>320793053
Ah Ah Ah! Use the right terminology anon, the isp's of murica are an Oligopoly, meaning they all got together in secret meetings and decided not to compete with each other, dividing up the country between them.
>>320792778
Actually, yes. yes you can
Go to your town hall and ask about how to set up a municipal network. Then campaign for your town to fund it.

What you SHOULD be doing is urging Overlord Google to take their Google fiber service seriously, they're one of the only corporations that are large enough that they don't give a fuck about the whining of the isp's and have had no problems laying down lines literally 100 times better than existing ones in areas that were previously monopolized.
>mfw i'm in one of Comcast's test markets and have been dealing with an enforced cap for over a year and routinely pay $80 more per month than i did before that and they say that the $35 unlimited upgrade isn't available at my address and there only other ISP i have access to is Uverse which has a lower cap and significantly worse speeds and Google Fiber is being installed right now 10 miles from my house

which ones?
I thought internet here in Canada was bad because we started getting widespread bandwidth caps before the US did (and we have a problem where our providers aren't an oligopoly like the US, but most of them lease their lines from the same company so they might as well be), but our caps seem a lot more lenient than yours. With my ISP it's only $5 for every 50GB if you break your cap, or $15/month extra to remove the cap entirely.
>>320796789
The ones that don't allow any form of competition between them, and force entire states to use the same shitty ISP
I don't know which bill was it, but it's a thing in burgerland

bongistan?
>>320797459
i have never heard anything like that
it's hard to believe you when you dont have a source or name of a bill or law
>>320792778
The first step is getting yourself a shitload of tubes.
The rest will come naturally.
>>320791410
Call them and inform them a competitor offers unlimited for the same price and you will drop them if they do not remove the cap.
Shit works like a charm. By calling them you put the call workers job on the line. To many people cancel on him and he is gone. They also have incredible power and can write you up custom contracts. Just make sure to get it in writing.
If you only have one option you are fucked though. No compete contracts are fucking bullshit.
>>320797459
Even if that were true isn't stuff like that caused by lobbyists? They aren't necessarily using the government to get a better foot hold it's more they are trying to circumvent the rules so they can operate like they would without it.

How bad are the caps? are they almost all around 250-300gb?
In Australia some ISPs have moved away from data caps, or offer large quota amounts. Currently paying $89 a month for 100/2 cable with 1TB of quota a month, and 4 top ups a year if needed.
>>320791410
I cross over the data cap all the time but my isp never does anything about it. Probably because there's more than just one company in the area.
>>320797736
What kind?
Aluminum, copper, fallopian, jew?
Don't think I'm not willing to actually try this shit.
>>320801278
Comcast bought NBCUniversal, not the other way around
>tfw pay almost 60 dollars for "20"/"2"
>>320801596
I have mediacom and pay $65/month for some Internet speed that I can't remember. Anyway my data cap is 350GB and each 50GB over that costs 10 additional USD.
>>320791410
even when we had data caps in my country, literally every service provider except student owned ones had deals with steam to have specific unmetered servers for downloading available.

>>320803219
You're assuming trump can be stumped. When he wants to build a wall, he's building around the entire US. Not just the southern border.
>>320803471
Sanders is more popular than Trump despite the fact that Trump has gotten more free media coverage than any other candidate in history.
There's no way any of the Republican candidates have a chance in hell at winning this election. Sanders won't win either. It's already been decided that Hillary will be the next POTUS and Trump is actively helping her secure that by making the right look like giant shit head to people outside of rednecks, teaparty trash and internet memesters.
>>320803797
We're fucked either way. I'm just amazed that people keep feeding trump with media time.
Don't cover what he says = no more popularity.
>tfw hillary is fucking stupid when it comes to technology.
>>320803797
Doesn't matter who wins, the USA loses, period.
Hilary = incessant rampant neo-feminism grips the country even more than it does now, completely fucking everything.
Trump = nation goes bankrupt because muh wall. Also probably starts several wars because he has no diplomatic ability
Bernie = See Hilary, except this time with a cuck in the oval office instead of an actual feminazi.

Why do you let them do this to you? In my country once they turned off my internet for whole day because supposedly I didn't pay. I called them and resolved the issue, but it took few hours. I said that if they didn't make it up for me I am going to change to their competition. They mailed me a free router and gave a nice discount for the next month.

>>320803959
It doesn't matter if the electoral system is abolished, any system from here on out is irrevocably poisoned
The absolutely insane schools of thought behind the modern academics who are responsible for the indoctrination of professionals into an anti-apologetic, critical theory following zombies has turned the majority into being complacent with government raping the shit out of their freedoms in the names of "safety" from terrorists on the right side and "progress" away from the wrong side of history on the left
Because we are a republic, whatever comes next is determined by the people, and whatever it is whether direct democracy or monarchy or empire or balkanization, this current mindset of entitlement, corruption, illiteracy, and shortsightedness will be what establishes it
>>320797557
First, try the good' ol DNS trick.
If that doesn't work, try using DNSCrypt, this SHOULD bypass most redirect filters.
If even that still doesn't work, chances are the ISP is proxying your connection to the internet, at which point you have to use a VPN.
