Especially during a global pandemic when schools and business are forced to being digital. I wouldn't hate this so much if it was 5TB, that is at least targeted at top 1% abusers.

Is "using the throughput I pay for" considered abuse? The annoying thing with this is we're charged for throughput (100Mbps, 25Mbps, etc), but then also limited in how long you can sustain that rate.

With my Comcast Gigabit internet I could hit the MONTHLY cap in under 3 hours of the speed I paid for.

They claim that this data cap would not impact 95% of their customers.

I think the timing of this policy change is especially tone deaf.

Divide and conquer usually works pretty well. Find some unsympathetic 5% here, another 5% there...
