    I’m suspecting these companies are trying to use Data Caps to “Deter Piracy” without saying as much.

    Unfortunately; the reality now is that these Data Caps do not just affect rampant pirates or people who download a lot of things. They are trying to justify an outdated policy that no longer works as intended; and hoping customers won’t notice them taking a bit more profit off the top.

    They’ve been more than caught now and the practice must stop or customers will get federal regulators involved

      The data caps also discourage 4k adoption.
