    What annoys me ever more is that despite paying for the 4K tier of the streaming platform, and the ‘best tier’ on my Internet plan. If I were to watch a not insignificant amount of 4k movies - I would hit my ‘data cap’ and be unable to use the Internet at all for the rest of the month.

        That I have a data cap of 100GB and after that I am at 56kbps speeds? Because we treat the internet as a luxury instead of a utility.

          WTF, Internet providers once tried to impose data caps on home internet here in Germany, but they dropped that real fast.

          And 100GB isnt even a lot of data, its more like a top tier phone plan, not even close to enough for a home.

          I will soon get gigabit fiber for 40€ per month, so yeah.
