So like 90% of the US?
2 comments

The US is full of slow internet, but it's not particularly plagued by capped internet.

There are a bunch of 1TB caps around, but a cap like that would suggest that the value of 500MB is 3 to 10 cents at most.

Just using 3 watts at idle is already enough to cost the average person 25 cents a month.

Would love to see a source to back this number up if you have one. I had caps on almost every ISP I had in Europe, but even out in the boonies here in the US I've only seen caps on one (unfortunate) connection.
