~~Can I ask what country so I can avoid it like the plague?~~
Ah yes, good ol' US of A. Why am I not surprised?

My ISP recently introduced data caps on unlimited (they throttle you to 4Mbit if you go past ~300GB or 500, not sure). I already wanted to leave but that's really lighting a fire under me to move the fuck out of here.

? I've never had a data cap and I'm in the US. Many areas now have alternatives to cable/DSL. I have fiber-backed Ethernet at the wall, and my city is rolling out muni-fiber, and we're honestly kind of late to the game compared to my local area.

Shop around, maybe you have more options now.
