I’m paying Comcast ~$50 a month for a decently fast connection, and 1TB monthly data transfer, it’s actually cheaper, faster, and a higher limit than it was for the equivalent plan 10 years ago.

The last time I had Comcast was 2016. I did not have a bandwidth cap and they had only just instituted it in a few test markets.

Now it is nation-wide.

I get slightly more speed than I did back then, but I'd trade that extra speed for no bandwidth cap in a heartbeat. Obviously usage depends on person and plenty of people won't notice cap but I can easily drop 1/10th of my monthly bandwidth budget on a single game on steam these days.

Why are you comparing your internet to the internet from 10 years ago when it was significantly less important and less used...

The internet in 2010 wasn't significantly less important or less used than now.
