Are Data Caps Really Necessary?

Yeah, except some of them just throttle you when you go over the cap, and all that gets them is an angry customer and no actual money so...

@@corvettec-dt1eq Yes because they want you to pay for a more expensive subscription with a higher data cap...

No. Data caps are wrong in both ways. They should not have them at all.

Imagine living in a country where it’s legal to have a data cap.

@@strandedsurvivor7888 bunneh no compute.... What is data cap? How is it achieved?

Linus might know a lot about tech, but seems to know almost nothing about economics. If there isn't a real cost to data consumption, internet providers would just compete for clients by not having a goddamn data cap. If that's something clients want, surely it would be a GREAT strategy to not charge for something that doesn't cost the company more. How the hell do you think prices are determined? If the companies would just charge more by colluding and agreeing to charge for data caps, than why in the fucking world don't they just agree to raise their prices?? Do you guys have ANY fucking idea of how prices work? For the love of god!

@@thepedrorriva In most areas of the United States consumers have limited options for broadband providers. In my area for example, I have only one choice for high-speed internet access that is above 15 megabits per second and that is Comcast. Because the cable companies have regions they have divided up amongst themselves to prevent competing with each other, they can charge whatever they want for the most part and get away with it as there are no other options available that offer similar speeds.

No, Americans didn't support the net neutrality repeal. The vast majority was against it. It was literally shoved down our throats. They pretended people wanted it, to the extent of rigging their own polling system. All of this was proven but nothing stopped it, despite the large pushes to do so. Now politicians have moved on to their usual set of topics to argue endlessly about.

@@thepedrorriva There is a cost, but it's so low that its ridiculous to mention. And yeah, some competitive offers from ISPs would be great, but there is no competition in most areas in the US. When Google fiber came to my area comcast hooked people with the promise of a lifetime rate, going to door to door to push it. When Google fiber stopped comcast no longer fulfilled their promise of the lifetime rate. So their version of competitive offers is much different, as would be for a company that has a monopoly.

In Spain, ISP charge for the speed, and for example, 50mb upload/download is available for 15€ per month.

Keep in mind the US is large enough to fit all of Western Europe in it. So, internet infrastructure is not as easily developed.

you are correct, however most people live in big cities, and the cities can be connected by fibre to each other.

He lives in Canada....

In the US ISPs also charge for speed, it's just that they happen to implement data caps on TOP of that (and typically you get a higher data cap when you pay for a faster speed). I'm with AT&T right now for Internet and get a 50Mbps connection (well, that's debatable, as I've seen it *peak* at 50Mbps, but it probably sits around 30Mbps most of the time) with a 1TB data cap for $40/mo. Although the price goes up as soon as my contract expires, so I have to stay locked in if I want a good rate like that (I think it's like $70/mo if you're out of contract).

What speed do you get there?

It depends on where you live. I just tested it now. And I got 11.6Mbps download and upload is 0.93Mbps So yeah. Slow asf in Australian. But the NBN is suppose to change all of that

Unlimited broadband? Don't you mean snailband? Most of the UK relies on FTTC or ADSL technology. About 50% of the population can access 500Mb via DOCSIS and about 1% can access 330Mb by FTTP - So yes, we might get the unlimited data, but the US gets the faster speeds XD

@@markatherstone5650 50mbps is plenty for most people anyways since almost nobody uses that much bandwidth, minus people downloading lots of things very often, which isn't very many people. a 100+ mbps connection is really only useful for people who was super fast game downloads or who do real work.

Dong Huang Best comment I've seen. So true

+Patrick By Fair amount do you mean, Optus, Optus, and only Optus

optus iinet tpg iprimus dodo foxtel belong mate. So yeah a few ISPs

It's too bad your government didn't follow ours(NZ) sooner

Most people on capped connections live in rural areas on farmland. The only person I know on a limited connection is on a ranch that's over 30 miles from the nearest town and there literally isn't even another house for 10 miles in any direction. He's on a satellite internet connection and those can become congested very easily and very quickly. Running 30 miles of cable to one house is more expensive than every internet bill he could pay for in his entire life.

I pay 60 and get 25mb data rate capped at 1TB (was 250 gig) and I have to call in yearly to renegotiate my plan or it goes up to 90 dollars per month which I refuse to pay. With no competition, and no regulations, in the USA the consumer is screwed. btw, I live in a 1 million plus city.

As long as your country ISP thinks they can control your transfers, they don't mind which year it is. Trust me i live in country where people are escaping from because of the suicidal goverment practices that people here seems don't mind and they are fine with and its not even Asia is in EU and the internet speeds - if they are wireless HSPA/LTE - they are limited Jewish style so they can squize you for more. Onli exception is that the connection from the cable is often not limited, but like i don't have acces to any cable besides the overprised ADSL on the phone line that only 1 ISP is providing here right now and ist more expensive than wireless ones so i have no choice. I can not get some beter line installment so i am screwed for this wireless type of services. For the wireless ones y6ou have option to buy "unlimited" packet, but like i sayed earlier we are scammed so for us the "unlimited" means 100GB/month but that is when you choice the less scamming one because there are even worse leechers on the wireless scam marketplace with cyrogrphs tying you to live with this horrible thing not to say they limit you with speeds on the ssame antena everywhere when it's more overused by other users. I only wish that the scam will end as the 5G technology will arrive and get real popular everywhere so the internet costs will be more standarised everywhere.I think nobody will go for limits and fake no limits with bandwith that high. Only time can tell how it is going to change if it will ever in close future, but right now i dont heve time to wait with nothing and you people stay less ignorant if you dont have at least more information, if it's sarcastic in this case it's not that clear as i observed the tendency to be less clear to tell if you are serious or not.

Absolutely wrong. Every prepaid SIM cards have data caps. At a cost of 199 rs, airtel offers 1.5GB internet per day for 28 days, 250rs for 2Gb/day for 28 days and other packs for higher prices with longer validity. After that speed is reduced to 64kb/sec, just enough to play Clash of Clans but other than that, it's like there's no internet service unless you recharge for another data pack for the day or wait for next day renewal.

read the comments you noobs. don't believe everything you hear even if it's from LTT. data caps on hardwired cable/dsl type internet connections (and we have FIBER as an option too) do NOT have caps, at least I've never heard of any. maybe they're out there, but MOST people have at least 2 major ISP's to choose from, sometimes more... not everyone, but most people have choice. and if you want to spend more money, there's always choice... i'm talking about reasonably priced choice. no data caps in America, don't be fooled. only by cell phone companies, and even then there are unlimited options.

Wendell from Level1Techs has explained why quite thoroughly over the years back when he was with Logan, Qain, and Pistol with RaZethew0rld and the first Tek Syndicate on episodes of " The Tek".

Erik No caps with Fios

Erik Even without that issue (which sucks), people often forget that there's geography, as in, many of America's metro areas aren't as dense as metro areas in other countries (49ers Bay Area and NYC being notable exceptions) and the fact that we're just not as liberal as most of the countries with faster internet speeds. Call us Americans dumber than Europeans, but at least we have muscle cars and not eugenics programs.

Not just Comcast but every companies involved.

Half the US is stuck on that too though

On average bad American internet is better than bad Australian internet but American internet in rural areas can be incredibly bad, and a lot more Americans live in rural areas than Australians. And Australian internet is (far too slowly, but still) getting better, while most of those dead areas in the US are even more stagnant than ours.

Just curious why did the AUS rollout the nbn?

Basically the left leaning party decided that ISPs were taking a too slow, too hacky, too short term approach to delivering effective internet to the population, and realised that the economic advantages of widely available high speed internet (including direct effects on government coffers) more than paid for the cost of rolling out a network consisting of a mix of fibre to the premises for most Australians and high speed, affordable satellite links for those too rural to otherwise reach (who depend on high speed internet even more than urban people in some cases). On hearing of this plan ISPs started dragging their feet even more, even completely cancelling upgrade plans, anticipating that they would be rendered redundant by NBN. Then we had a change of government to the conservative party, based on other issues (they had to promise at least some kind of NBN to get enough votes), and we're now getting a hacky, hodge-podge rollout that's arguably worse than what the ISPs would have rolled out had they been left alone (outside of the satellite links, those are still pretty good). Had we gotten the real network we would be on a relatively slow but steady path over the next 10 years to having all Australians connected to the internet (and all other telecommunications infrastructure) with high speed, high reliability connections that would allow small business and startups to do new, innovative things that depend on fast internet, allow farmers to consistently conduct their business, allow telehealth and enable consumers to use high bandwidth consuming services (which would create more of a market for those start ups as well). Think of it as the internet equivalent of socialised healthcare, except that if we hadn't had the mid rollout change of government it would have been deployed by a government that has a successful track record with socialised healthcare already (which removes many of the arguments that go against socialised healthcare in the US's case).

"mobile data had this, of course" Yes, we also got mobile data caps here. But, like DSL, DOCSIS or FTTH, LTE don't need a cap. There is no real finite maximum. We all use our mobiles, laptops and tablets in the beginning of every month without a bottleneck, at least i didn't notice one since new year 2012. And today netflix, youtube and other streaming services don't count into my mobile data plan. Mobile Carrier also used this scare tactic with SMS in the 90's. It is just a lie to profit from "thin air". It isn't normal just because everyone is used to it... maybe it is.

The funny thing is the majority of their cell data plans that people get are cheap as fuck and don't have data caps, but their internet does. Which is the opposite of the problem we have in Canada; our internet is really good and not that expensive, but our cell phone plans go through the roof in pricing and you don't even get unlimited data usage (unlimited cellular data literally doesn't exist in Canada anymore, and hasn't for YEARS; basically since a year or 2 after cell phones first were invented lol)

First world countries with internet worse than most third world countries, really stupid. :c

Grymyrk Australia has pretty weird Interest situation. Some people have nbn optic fibre to the premises, which gives then 500 mbps down and up. The liberal government stopped connecting it to the household, but still rolled some out, which results in most of Australia having 7-9 mbps down and 1mbps up. Most capital cities (Melbourne ect) have 25mbps down. I am extremely lucky to live in one of three towns where a company (iiNet) rolled out the coaxial cable. I now pay 90 AUD a month to get 300mbps down and 50mbps up with unlimited data caps.

well, bearing in mind the only high-speed way to the rest of the world is through massively expensive underwater cables, it makes sense. Underwater fiber cables are way more expensive than regular ones which are buried under roads and pavement. This is because of the cost of building one and maintaining is high (because they need a specialized boat) and they have a HUMUNGOUS amount of different layers to protect the cable from water damage... America and other countries that don't depend on under-sea connections have no excuse...

Grymyrk isn't that just because new zealand is an island with pretty rough terrain in the middle of the ocean? I mean it's not like internet is super great in europe's more rural areas.

Yes isolation is definitely a major part of the problem.

@@yomamashouse8508 not at all. Especially dealing with ips as more than 50% of America have only "1 provider in their area" does not mean guaranteed. For example I pay $160 a month for a 100gb data cap for whatever speed i can get as its wireless. Its usually around 500 kilobytes

DireWolfIIC What the hell do you mean "Not at all"? Where the hell in the US is there Only one ISP in that area? I have 4 in mine. Go educate yourself.

Ben B so, just normal capitalism?

in sweden we now have 4g unlimited, well it goes up to 20 gb then you have to respond to a sms every new gb, but as a compensation i now use unlimited 4g with no caps what so ever.

about 15$ for 1gbps dl and the last time i checked it was about 500mbps up,and mobile data is "free",every mobile service are giving away alot of gbs of data,i get about 12gbs of data every 2 weeks and i pay about 25$ for 3 sims

Now, one nz provider gives unlimited mobile data for 80$.

Telstra in Australia are $10/1gb and have been for some time with mobiles. We have a plan atm which allows 15g per phone with unlimited calls including some other countries but at $70/m per phone.

k I'm coming

im on my way bro

omw

Not legal tho

I would like to like this comment, but 69 is just fitting.

Shazzkid I think that data caps like that are sensible on phones. Most "unlimited" plans on phones actually have a cap (like 2TB a month) that exists so that people can't overload the network

Tibiafreak i watch youtube at work. i easily hit over 100gb a month. i used my phone for internet on my pc using tethering and racked up 600gb on my plan. sprint didnt care

Imagine paying 25.99€ for a 4G fixed broadband hotspot with unlimited data, then getting an email 1 year after signing the contract saying that everyone will get a 100GB data cap out of nowhere. It sucks.

What company are you using? I'm currently using metropcs because I'm in the hotspot and it's only $60 for unlimited data. But it has a limit of 32gb, which is unfortunate since I stream a lot of music and videos.

"unlimited data. But it has a limit of 32gb" Mind = blown.

Well, as far as I know there's not a single one that's limited here in Switzerland. I think the only way to be limited is having a free internet plan. But as he said in the video. Just the fact that they are allowed to limit you like this seems pretty stupid to me honestly.

Where the fuck do you live? Or is this for your phone? Because if it is broadband...that is a huge scam. I mean, in my country, I pay around 10$/month for broadband and I get 1Gbps with no cap.

I live in a rural area in the US and pay 38 USD a month for 1mbps with no caps. I shit you not.

+Teodor But your country doesn't have paved roads.

I've heard some areas in Canada having that rate... and I mean high quality of life provinces (hardly anyone does or wants to live in places like Nunavut... their capital city I think has just over 1000 people).

MyMultilol Because greedy unregulated companies still want to fk over consumers.

Still exist? They are becoming more common.

Jordan Zangara $5 more? Comcast charges $50 more if you go over the cap.

Jordan Zangara noticed when I was in Ohio over Christmas that Charter doesn't have caps. I also noticed a Charter truck near my home when I returned. Hopefully we're getting some competition soon.

They actually did add an unlimited plan to Shaw in Western Canada for the 150Mbps tier, which I switched to.. mind you, it's $105 Canadian a month, but I was paying nearly that for the 100Mbps with 550 GB limit, so it was a no brainer.

Name Name1 This video is almost two years old

Me

Me I have 150 GB Cap and the speed has to be 2 Mbps but in reality its less than 1 Mbps most of the time, it rarely gets over 1.6 Mbps I pay 28$ a month for it

@@bassam_salim Holy hell, you are getting ripped off big time, if you're paying $28 dollars for only 2 Mbps *with* data-cap. Which ISP do you have, I'm guessing you have AT&T? Also, are there any other ISP's in your area you could subscribe to?

Having 16 kb/s capped at 1 GB I pay nothing for it

I have 100+ mbps with no cap

* _cries in 2Mb with cap_ *
