F*ck. Whenever my ISP wants I’m going to prison. How do I avoid this.
i got the notification about this new post right when i was beginning a new download of a tv series and i was really spooked initially
but then i remembered that i live in a dmca excluded country and pirate terabytes of content every month and nobody gives a shit
still pretty cool tho :)
What’s the name of this blursed country?
russia
i suspect op is also russian judging from the username
faaaack I’m jealous. I’m in the US, where I used to live in a state that had a 1 TB / month data cap, but luckily I moved to a state without one a year ago or so. I still need a VPN tho :frowning face:
wait what? it’s illegal to offer no or >1TB data caps by state law? or is just monopolized by a singe ISP with only 1TB data cap plans?
The 2nd one, the country is dominated by ~4 ISPs, who each have their own cities / regions and they don’t compete with each other. So even in a very popular city, you have 1 main cable ISP, and a bunch of tinier slow ones that use DSL or dialup, so you pretty much have to use the big one. 2 of those have a 1 TB / month data cap, and if your city happens to be served by that provider, you’re screwed.
edit: they do allow you to go “over the data cap”, but its really expensive, like $10 / 100 GB iirc. So if you did 2TB in a month, and your ISP cost $50 / month, your monthly bill is now $150
