lmao
was bound to happen. Surprised it took this long really
America has pretty shitty caps on its LTE as well, everyone has to do it because itâs crap wireless technology and it was ordered by people who have no idea how wireless works
Oh its LTE, I misunderstood the thread! At least we have reasonably priced 5G Wireless now here in the US. I have Verizon as my second WAN, 300/30 for $50/mo, no caps
yeah thatâs going to screw with 5G way more than any fibre would, they just donât want to because the labor costs way too much for stuff like that
QLD is hilly af too

One day I want to know what itâs like to have a 1gb connection and have YouTube automatically default to max quality.
140p and 240p gets very oldđ

amen
No way? really!
I can imagine you in a fancy suit and tie sipping tea out of a porcelain cup with vivaldi playing in the background and seeing it default to 720p and like âoh gosh, not the internet of the poors again, away with youâŚgive me the speed suited to my stationâ

Also i feel like shaping at 400GB are in place so they can shape more then just minority.
All my friends that have a family go over 400GB a month easy let alone 200GB. i would love to see what this average usage data would look like compared to average age of the house hold.
They fact that its based on data usage could also be unfair. what if all that data was downloaded between 2am 5am when when it least impacts? so now im penalised in peak periods?
I get they have to do something until its upgraded, but cant they just prioitise traffic instead of capping?
Isnt the point of advertising evening speeds to show what the network is like when congested?
What happens when they start offering the 250mbps plans, we pay more to be throttled sooner?

sad reality is charging 100% of people 100% of the price for 5% of the service for around 10% the capacity of what the connection could be capable of is just completely unfair, no matter which way you cut it.
QoS doesnât really work on radio networks when the packet buffers are so big on either end and there is so little bandwidth to go around. Such egregious P2P shaping reeks of political pressure to stultify pirating being the actual reason for this policy rather than any layer 1 or 2 bandwidth issues.
If you get 14Mbps from a streaming service you pay for over the same carrier that gets 1Mbps for p2p traffic where in both cases youâre taking up the same bandwidth should set off alarm bells. This is ISPs caring what you use your internet for, and nothing else
Edit: itâs also the downside of socialist policies, now the government is by default interested in the service and itâs subject to whatever policies they like to shove over it
