My internet service in Silicon Valley charges like $1/GB above 1TB of usage per month :(
Just so we're clear, that's a wired service?
Yup. Comcast/Xfinity residential cable. I pay like $80/mo and still have that cap. They also had an outage yesterday for like 5 hours for maintenance that was clearly planned ahead of time, but they never bothered to tell me ahead of time, and when the outage happened, they still gave me a bad estimate of when it would be restored due to “network damage”.
I still have trouble wrapping my mind around the absolute scam that are US Internet provider companies.
