even a few mb? thats crazy like how many? 50 or so? thats well hard? whats the point of capping? is it just the business side? so that you may upgrade?

thanks for your time!!!
Yea, they were strict with the 1mb people. but when they upped the speed of the 2mb and 3mb to 4 and 10mb, they upped the soft cap to 75GB /month. But they admitted the couldn't keep track of what people were doing and couldn't enforce the cap, so they've now scrapped the cap for every service, which is good.


TBH, i think it is more to do with business. They had some people that would og crazy and download upto 1TB a month on the soft cap (which is a crazy amount of download), and it was those that got phone calls and letters from them.
