I dont want my use arbitrarily limited because comcast feels that's how much I need each month. That's crap.


Then be prepared to pay more? You want internet governed like a utility (title II) but do not want to billed like it. You are using exponentially more than the grandma who just wants to read books on their kindle. I don’t know anyone in a one bedroom apartment who thinks they should pay the same water bill as the house with the hot tub swimming pool and sprinkler system. Nor should they.

Umm, that's already how it works in the US for ISPs. Everyone has a tiered system.

Data caps are the most asinine part of the system. You're confusing caps with speeds.

When it comes to internet, the instantaneous speed you use is the expense, not the volume you use over a month. That's completely different than gas/electricity/water.
