I do. Comcast. Data cap.

Of course, what I would -prefer- is to ditch Comcast, and yes, watch at a higher resolution, and I will at the first available opportunity. But can't. Because monopoly.

If there was Capitalism you'd actually be able to compete.

There is Capitalism ... but it's been corrupted. Economic systems are morally neutral. How people employ them determines the morality. The U.S. is, in general, pushing Capitalism to its logical end, in which the system consumes itself in the name of its constituents' "best interests."
