Deceptive marketing? Yes. Inflated prices? Yes. Lack of competition? Totally.

But using law to impose your "moral perspective" on a pricing structure is not a solution.

The problem is that there exists no plan with reasonably-priced, reasonably-fast non-capped internet access, while there is a demand for it.

This is a market failure caused by a lack of competition in the market.

We should seek out and advocate for solutions which increase competition in the consumer broadband marketplace and ignore foolish non-solutions like this.
