a cap on speed translates to a data cap per month. could you give an example of say your speed cap?

lets say a month is 30 days, a day 24 hours, an hour 3600 seconds, then a month is 2.592 Ms.

so an "unlimited" plan at say 1Gbps is actually always upper limited at 2592 Tb (bit) per month or 324 TB (byte) per month

I think governments should ban the "unlimited" names and force the ISP's to simply state actual limits or variable limit calculations if dependent on congestion. Here in belgium we have instead some vague "reasonable usage" policy...



> a cap on speed translates to a data cap per month

There's one fundamental difference: there's no risk of exceeding that implied "data cap" derived from the speed cap.


as if risk is a desirable trait for contracts and agreements?
