As comparison, in Portugal: DIGI offers Internet only, 10€ ($11.10) for symmetric 1Gb/s, fiber, no cap (unlimited). 10Gb/s? 15€ ($16.65).

    Yeah but has Portugal even once thought about the shareholders? Think about how miserable they could make the average citizen if they just choose psychopathy and narcissism instead.

    i was hoping for a monkey's paw loop hole but looks like the ag's agreement is tight.

    As a result of OAG’s investigation, T-Mobile will end data caps that slowed the internet speeds of customers on ABA internet plans, offer ABA plans to more areas throughout the state, and make it easier for eligible New Yorkers to find and sign up for affordable internet plans.

    I've wondered about this with their $15 Connect mobile plan which only has like 5gb of data.

    Is there a regular-income plan with no data cap and how much does it cost?

    At xfinity it's a pain in the ass to sign up for but when I managed, it was $30/mo extra, bringing me to $95/mo for 400/40 down/up. At my new place all plans are unlimited for $60/mo. Still friggin' 40mpbs up though.

    Thanks, I was asking specifically about T-mobile plans though. Sorry if I wasn't clear. The idea of high volume home internet over cell phone networks seems nuts to me. Even 50gb of cell phone data seems nuts to me since I'm an old fogey, but I know that people use that much all the time.

    Attorney General James and Governor Hochul Improve Access to Affordable Home Internet for Vulnerable New Yorkers

    In case anybody was about to try to praise Mamdani for this.

    Being born in New York the number of people confused by the difference between NY state and NYC is a bit jarring. Then I remember NYC could almost be a state onto itself.
