They probably should have started with 300 GB per week and then boil-frogged their way down to 3GB (or more if you donate to their political party). And then just blame global warming or call people racists if they disagree.

P.s. it is neat that the French word for byte is 'octet'.

Formally, an octet is the correct term for exactly eight bits, while a byte is the smallest number of bits that can be accessed in a computer system, which may or may not equal eight. In practice, modern computers use 8-bit bytes, and the terms are used interchangeably (with byte being more common in North America, and octet often being preferred in Europe).

That's just pointless and stupid

It's such a stupid way to measure internet usage.

They give any “reasoning” behind this? Or just to be authoritative cunts?

Yeah, yeah. Rhetorical.

Looking at her face, guessing it's a way to limit power consumption...climate change and that shit.

Same as the "reasoning" behind the masks and "six foot rule".

"Because we say so."

What's the fun of being in charge unless you can make the peasents jump through hoops and take their stuff?

That's not even enough to last me through a single day.

When me and my brother first got internet hookup, we had to share 5GB between us a month. and somehow that was enough.
Now, for me alone 500 GB a month of usage is normal. If i download a game or two it easily goes into the TB

HTML4 days were alright...didn't waste data downloading Javascript horseshit, fonts, and a fuckton of "feeds".
