Data caps suck on mobile devices. They crimp our style, really. But what’s even more despicable are those same caps implemented on our seemingly infinite amounts of copper and fiber home internet connections. While initial “soft caps” started in the 200-250 GB range, in more recent months/years we’ve seen hard line internet drop as low as a handful of gigabytes.
