I live in Georgia, and I have a 300GB/m datacap. Yesterday my friend told me of a wonderland known as South Carolina in which people don't have data caps, instead they pay for speed. Do you guys know of this wonderland?

...........Im 99.99999999999999999999999999999999% sure its a provider limitation, and not a limitation the state imposes. because my 5 person family would hit that limit with MOBILE. let alone PC. 

 

I know I use more then 300gb/month. I know my sister uses a HELLA lot more then 300gb/month. does the router keep track off this? wondering where I can check

I haven't had a data cap since 2002. Data caps never really caught on in Denmark. Even my mobil data is without a data cap.

It also makes no sense to have a data cap. Data isn't a finite resource.

Nope, and certainly hope we don't get any. Bandwidth is the bottleneck, not gross data values. If you don't want people using so much Internet then stop giving them fast Internet.

I am in california, and I have never heard of that............ That is some bullshit. I am sure if I used multiple terabites in a month someone would get a little curious and I would probably get a phone call, but as far as I know... nope.

 

And I have used well over 300 gigs in a month. My record is probably in the vicinity of 800

Yes, but it's never enforced, we always go over our data cap and they never seem to complain.

ISP controlled, not state controlled. 

 

Check the ISP rules. States dont bother with that stuff because they have given the ISP free rein on how the handle the internet.

I know in my router there's a table where you can check the past month of usage for each day, but my router is a bit more on the higher end (ASUS RT-AC68U) so I don't think all routers will have that.

I actually couldn't underclock my 5 year old GPU to make it as slow as a next-gen console.

Games are getting bigger and bigger, I mean I just downloaded bf4 again with all of it's DLC and that was like 50GB, titanfall and it's DLC is like 70GB. GTA V is something like 60GB. It all adds up eventually.

Ahh forgot to add my data limit, I'm literally using my iPad as my main router now with a 40GB cap, my phone has a 6GB cap. Once I finish my iPad limit it's slowed to a mere 1 Mbps, and my iPhone to a unusable 512KB/s.

Here in Canada (Ontario more specifically), I know a lot of plans have data caps, but if you pay a bit more money you can get a plan without a data cap. I recently upgraded to an unlimited plan and it's been wonderful. Personally I probably use ~300GB/month on average but I can go more than that. In the past month I've used well over 400GB.

I actually couldn't underclock my 5 year old GPU to make it as slow as a next-gen console.

on mobile? my schools internet had high speeds(500mb up/down) but like no throughput. I think how it was set up internally was shit, and bottlenecks everywhere. speeds would get to .00xmb/sec. unusable. so would tether my phone. 25mb/down unlimited is pretty great, and rack up pretty quick. I was pushing 150-200gb myself, and I know my brother also tethers his phone in school, so his is probably close. 

 

for home? My buddy does video work for a living. he wanted a offsite storage just incase something happened to his house, he didn't want to lose thousands of dollars of client work. so bittorrent sync between a "nas" set up in both homes. between that and game servers, and "ohsolegal" movie/50gb game downloads(between me and my bro, so works out to like 100gb for every game LOL) it adds up quick.
