Me and my family (household of 4) have been using the same cable ISP (suddenlink) and their cable tv for years now. We used to not have a data cap and things were just fine but now without any prior warning I was surfing the web and BAM! You have reached your data cap! WTH what data cap??? So yea apparently we are now paying the same price we paid for no cap but now we have a 150gb cap per month! On top of that there will be fees involved for going over the cap!!!!! This all sounds like some sick twisted scam to get more money out of us to me..
I don't download anything illegally, don't go through 10k porn links, or any of that jazz and to the best of my knowledge neither does my family. They mostly use the internet for basic surfing things like email, facebook, youtube, ect. I am mostly a gamer and spend a lot of my time playing online games and such on top of normal surfing. Thats it! And so far we haven't had a problem but now all of a sudden we reached out data cap in only 9 days! x,x Big problem.. Plus I don't even think they offer an unlimited data plan anymore and it seems like other ISPs are doing the same bull.
Why the sudden change? Why are we paying the same amount of money we paid for no data cap to now suddenly having hidden fees and a data a cap that we hit after only 9 days?? This is kind of ridiculous..
